Please report back what works, as I am going to be in the same boat.So I already have turned off VATs but didn’t think to try getting a key cut with no chip. I’ll get one cut and see if that will start it. Good idea.
OR
I just unplug anti theft device and see if it still starts
I need your motivation.. and to be done with school....Also with the newest tune the car is making 312ftlbs torque at 4,420 and 297hp at 6,450. These are street numbers according to HPT.
What’s interesting is the HP was still climbing all the way until rev limit. Which is surprising as I expected it to peak at 6 or 6.2k. Could def break 300 by raising it another 500 rpm.
But I plan to adjust the wastegate for less boost. I peaked at 29.4 psi MAP absolute and I’d really rather stop it around 9psi so closer to 23psi or so. Hopefully this will keep me from spinning as much too.
Have you done any work to the engine internals? Or basically just put the Saab kit on and see what it does? 14psi seems to be a lot on a 2.2 motor.Also with the newest tune the car is making 312ftlbs torque at 4,420 and 297hp at 6,450. These are street numbers according to HPT.

No work at all. It’s a lot. Certainly too much. But I don’t care, I have all the forged internals ready to go into the next motor when this one lets go.Have you done any work to the engine internals? Or basically just put the Saab kit on and see what it does? 14psi seems to be a lot on a 2.2 motor.
Agreed. From the research I’ve done on it, it’s one of those things where consistency matters more than accuracy.I would be interested in seeing how accurate the hpt numbers are once you get it on a Dyno and everything dialed in.
