Your experience with VTT B58 GC (Not GC+)?

I'm interested in buying VTT B58 GC and wanna hear your experience with the kit.
I currently have TU HPFP and 200 cel DP (but I can go catless if that makes a noticeable difference).

1. How much power can I expect from pump gas?
2. How much power can I expect from ~E40 ish?
3. How was the installation process?
4. Did you buy anything else from dealer other than install kit?
5. Does it spool just as fast as OEM?
6. Is the top end noticeably stronger than BM3's stage2+ E30?

the power question is better directed to your tuner as its all going to depend on your custom map

the install is straight forward

FYI Vargas are running a sale for 2 weeks. you can get the discounted price directly from them or from an authorized dealer

As Mike pointed out, a lot of this will depend on your tuner. This is a great thread showing our initial pump gas results:

And here are some E50 results, the E40 you asked about should be close to this.

Thanks!

Dorch2 is enough to run e50 and you don't have to do wmi. Why didn't you go that route?

E85 must be ordered in barrels and taken for 9000km! I can't drive the E50 all the time. Methanol BMS is easy to manage. I can make the right fuel and add how much boost I need. Our petrol is only 98Ron and not the best. And with all this, I have the best results in Russia today!

I have a 2 gallon tank. BMS. With valve in the lid. I keep the stock in the garage. Its consumption is not great. Approximately 1 gallon per week. Mix 60/40 with distilled water.

From this photo you can see that the GC is driving up to 160km / h better than the Pure800. This means the GC will be faster on narrow, winding roads, city streets, where you need a quick dash. On wide tracks and races, the Pure 800 is certainly ahead. For your money GC, the best option for today!
