FR-S/BRZ Tuner Turbo Kit in Import Tuner Mag


In case you might have missed it, we scanned this recent July 2013 Import Tuner Magazine "TECH KNOWLEDGE" Feature on the GReddy T518Z Tuner Turbo Kit for Scion FR-S/ Subaru BRZ, with FR-S ace driver Ken Gushi and his driving impression of the kit...
 The dyno test showed an increase of 93.5whp / 68.6 lb-ft over stock with the GReddy Tuner Turbo Kit at 7psi, Evo3 exhaust and GReddy-tuned EcuTek ROM-tune.

*P/N 11510094 - GReddy Tuner Turbo Kit for Scion FR-S / Subaru BRZ


"...we noticed significant gain at 3,500 rpm of 55whp and 100lb-ft of torque. The impressive numbers continued throughout the entire powerband with a pick up of 55 whp and 48lb-ft of torque at 5,000 rpm" said Import Tuner Senior Editor, Scott Tsuneishi

"...Upon installing the GReddy Tuner turbo kit, it delivered a night-and-day difference in how the car performed... In it's naturally aspirated form, the FR-S has been know to develop a power loss from 3,000 to 4,500 rpm.  The turbo kit (with ECU tune) not only addresses this issue, but also enabled the vehicle to increase power thoughout the midrange all the way to redline..." said pro-driver Ken Gushi
