I would, but this is a daily driver (commuter type car
) and the race tire's mileage won't work.
I'm considering the the Kooks in 225/50-15 instead of 225/45's, heck if Falken had actually come out with the Azenis 615 in 225/50/-15, that would've been my choice.
Thread hijack.... Sorry.

When exactly are you spinning? I am curious because I would think that with both of us at 16psi we are close to the same power output. I think 16psi isnt crazy fast but its fast enough to hand most people their *** on the street.

The hydra will give you more of what you want- power. I made one datalog run, made minor fuel and ign changes, then went back out and made another run and instantly had more power. 3000rpm - before=3psi after=3.3, 4000rpm - before=9psi after=9.6psi. No signs of knock, so there's still more to gain.
Oh being a DD, I can understand. I actually traded a set of stock alloys for a new set of nitto drag radials, so I haven't had any breaking loose. Don't know if that's good or bad.

So the real skinny... how fast can you go with a untuned $200 turbo and $175 manifold?
Conditions:
205/50R15 Falken Azenis
Full Tank of Gas
**** poor driver
Hardtop installed
Vehicle weight ~2700 lbs with driver
Results:
Poor 60' times, wheel hop issues, and no traction in 3 gears.
1st Run:
12.93 @ 115.77 MPH
60' 2.23
1/8 mile 8.59@86.41
Best run: (two passes at 12.76)
12.76 @ 115.21 MPH
60' 2.16
1/8 mile 8.37@89.02
The car pulls hard up top, but can't plant the power off the line. If I run my drag radials next time, I think that 12.20's are within reach.

I just notice you rotated your wastegate flange 90*- sneaky. You keep doing stuff like that and you'll have an american made chinese header. 
12.20s? Hmmm... sounds like a showdown in the works looking Andy's sig. Oh - but he'll be running 11s with the hydra and new IC setup.

LOL, Ya, well the Tial didn't fit right the other way. So I twisted it. I am sure that Andy's car will remain faster than mine. I don't have the turbo, ported head or race fuel.... add in the extra few hundred pounds from my portly ABS equipped 10th AE and he'll be kicking my *** for quite some time.
