    That's why I said wait till the end. Set your turbo for a conservative level of boost (5-7 psi on most engines), check the installation for leaks, problems or fitment issues, install the standalone or tuning unit, and don't drive it hard until you get it tuned (keep your revs low).

    Dyno tuning is necessary, and very expensive. Thus, it's useless to do it unless you've installed everything already.

    Not really, ofcourse you want to get your base whp too.You need to see how much whp you gain after the turbo installed and tuned.

    Depends on your needs. For most common cars, dyno-readouts of stock tunes are available on online forums, or you can get a clubmate or friend with the same car to come with you during your tuning session to get a baseline from their car.

    And a dyno-test is different from dyno-tuning. The test is usually around 1800-2500 pesos for three pulls. Tuning starts at 10,000 pesos and just goes up from there. Just make sure that you do the baseline at the same dyno machine you will do the tuning at, as there is a wide variance in dyno readouts between shops.

    In fact, the variance in readouts between different days is also a factor, which is why I suggest taking a stock car with you on the same day you do tuning to measure your turbo against a stock system... but then, the variance for stock cars due to the weather is low anyway. It's up to you whether you want to spend the money on a baseline or not.

    And

    I'm no expert here,Back in 2003 we had a 350z club,We had a dyno run for 6 bonestock 350z and we get different result(10-35whp difference).

    That much is understandable, given the relative size of the engine, 35 whp difference is about +/- 14% difference.

    Maybe 5% or so of that could be down to the relative mileage of the cars (tighter/newer engine = less hp), the type of gas used (octane differences can account for up to 5 hp... or more, given that Nissan knock sensors are very... sensitive) and the mileage relative to the next oil change (newer oil = more hp).

    Those reasons also hold true for comparing your stock car to your car when modified, as a turbo build could take anywhere from a week (for a bolt-on) to a few months (for a do-it-yourself or a custom kit). Which brings differences due to weather, humidity and temperature into play also.

    Yup. Konting fabrication lang, basta mag-clear ang joint sa hood.
