Daily Driven 995WHP Kratos Turbos
Just wanted to share this with the community as more people are starting to do big builds. I purchased the Kratos S55 billet turbos to push my car further. I would first like to thank Cedar-Performance in Dallas, TX for spending countless hours getting my entire build together. Matt does top notch quality work. Dealing with ASR/Kratos was also a very easy and simple process. They tell you how it is and don't play games. If i ever needed any support or guidance, their staff is extremely helpful and fast to respond. Lastly, Halim with HCP has the secret sauce!
The turbos bolted on perfect and we did not have to make any modifications to support them. Install was a breeze for Cedar-Performance. I have about 200 miles on them already after having it for one day and it drives just like stock turbos but faster The turbos shipped in a nice box and everything was packaged extremely well. It is easily the best packaged mod compared to everything else i purchased for my vehicle. They even called me as soon as the tracking showed drop off to make sure i received my package as FedEx just left it at the door! The dyno was on mainly on pump E85 but we spiked it with no more than 5 gallons of Ignite Red to increase the ethanol content. I could've easily ran the tank empty and filled the entire thing up with Ignite fuel and pushed the car further but i'm not here to break records. This IS my daily driver. List of MAJOR mods: Carbahn Stage 2 engine SSP clutches Fuel-It PI DSS Axles + Driveshaft Kratos S55 Billet turbos HCP secret sauce I played around rotating pictures for about 10 minutes but can't get them to oriented properly.

Congratulations on the build! This is easily a $35k+ expense, but I personally wouldn't do it any differently.
I'm curious to know why you went SSP over Dodson, but I suppose it's a toss up between the two. I'm guessing you went with Carbahn's crank hub pinning solution, and perhaps some sort of PI system with upgraded fuel pumps. Did you stick with the factory valvetrain or are you running headgames or similar? Congrats again! I'm sure you are 1000% happy with this build, but I have a feeling that you're not quite done modding yet |

For the car, i'm done modding it. It's been a LONG journey and the only thing i might do is throw 2x12" subs in the back and bolt it down. The factory sound system sucks and I can use the extra weight in the rear! The R888R's are having some trouble hooking but i am still playing with boost by gear. |

R compound is at its best when you bring them up to temp. You may get better straight line traction efficiency by switching to 305mm width street tires, like PS4S or S007a. I'd also recommend maintaining tire pressure between 29-30 psi cold, but you're the one that has a 900whp daily driver |

Congrats really an astonishing results
Could you post some numbers for 100-200 kph/ 60-130mph . An acceleration clip for this beast with 995 WHP would be very interesting . |

I could easily achieve 1000whp if i really wanted to on the dyno but i'm waiting for my Kratos sticker, HCP and of course Cedar-Performance stickers to come in. That alone i'm told is worth a solid 5whp each. That's on the conservative side |

Love it, quality build with quality products! I'd love to do a turbo upgrade but most if not all require downpipes and I cannot stand the sound of this car with downpipes so stock turbo and 93 tune will hold me over at half of what you make
Get some videos and pics uploaded of the ride! |

Awesome Build there bro, attention to detail is great!!!
Kratos turbo's have to be the best packaged units ever sold, great attention to detail. please when you get a gap run some test for us, 100-200 or 60-130 I estimate it under 5s with that kind of power. I think what I find most impressive is that at 3.5k this makes more power/torque than a stock m3 and that the torque is smoother and less aggressive than a stock car. |

Wow, congrats on those heavy numbers! Love how the car is such a sleeper too!.
Kratos makes the best turbos hands down, highest quality and best of all their service is always very professional. It reflects who they are and that's important. Having owned a performance shop before with a dyno cell, tuning cars, building engines and a successful racing program I know can be a very tough critic because I demanded the best. When I begin my F80 project it will most certainly be with Kratos Turbos. These guys are the real deal. Again congrats to everyone involved in this incredible build. And just pump e85 too? Can only imagine with some ignite e85.
