JLT's 13 blowen and more

Were modding this thing fast. At 650 miles we dropped on the Roush blower and Brent Hughes of Dyno Tuned Performance started tuning.
While apart we had Sean Kelley install billet oil pump gears for added security and we painted the valve covers GHIG.

A few other parts got the green too.

While the bumper was off we removed the fog lights and added these home made mesh grilles and tinted the marker lights.


We upgraded the intercooler with a Duel fan Afco unit from Lethal as well as swapped out the stock clutch for a HD McCleod so we have no worries at the track.
Were headedto VIR for some killer road course action this weekend, so it's set up with LMR Drifts wrapped in Nitto NT01's.

So far the car made 458 RWHP with Roushs tune, basically the way a RS3 comes and about 520 RWHP with a quick tune.
It's going back on the rollers tonight for some fine tuning and a JLT Carbon Fiber Big Air!!
Brent's tune drives great! I think this may be the first 2013 with a Roush blower and I can say I'm thrilled with the drivability on this tune so far.

did you upgrade the clutch to handle the extra power?
