*UPDATE as of April 2022*
Car is now running EQT 92 & E85 files. Will do a fresh top speed run soon (and actually go into 6th this time lol)
*UPDATE as of March 2021*
This Shuenk IS38+ is no longer on the car. What was originally thought to be a WG actuator issue turned out to be the WG linkage on the turbo itself. I have a short video that shows exactly what was found ([ Ссылка ]).
I have since replaced it with an OEM IHI IS38.
There was a time I recommended the Shuenk, but in the short time that it's been available to the public. I've watched mine and many many other's fail with varying causes. If you're looking for a "+" IS38. Look into HPA or JDE. Or pick up an OEM IHI from FCP and it's lifetime warranty. I highly suggest avoiding the Shuenk IS38+.

A good shakedown with the Shuenk IS38+ after finally fixing my wastegate actuator issue. No LC, and a rolled on start to keep traction. Hit 162mph in the top of 5th gear and still had 6th available. Though it would be a slow crawl from that point on. I'll need some fueling & corn to bump that acceleration up a tad after 155mph.
This turbo completely changes this car's powerband and hauls major booty. I'm extremely happy with where the car sits right now. The fact that I can do more too excites me should I ever get bored of this setup.
More to come, stay tuned =]
