In that case awesome work. Also awesome work on those LIM blanket/shields. Excellent product idea!

Keeping my eye on this build

Going to be pushing things!
Is there more to the build then just the turbo? That is a lot of WHP for a Renesis. What type of management? Cooling? Meth?

It will be running meth injection. The engine has our stud kit, and will have a few of our coatings. In addition it is ported, doweled, and some prototype apex seals.

Another one we just finished, this one was done in house...
So far is builds boost as fast as the old greddy unit, and should be capable of 400rwhp

I'm glad people are still pushing the Renesis. I highly doubt I'll ever go with a FI Renesis myself until it proves to be reliable in doing so, but it is good to see people still pushing the capabilities.

We made over 30+ WOT 4th gear pulls on monday with the car. I am pretty confident the setup is reliable.

Not to downplay the impressive work you're doing by any means, but 30+ WOT pulls in fourth gear isn't that much compared to years of abuse and track time abuse.
