It's not a Celi, but i thought it might be of interest to some of you folks because we share the same engine
Here is a pic of the almost finished build:



I don't know if I'm welcome here without a Celi, so if you guys wanna see more just let me know, I have tons of pictures including some log files from my road-tune for the tech-gurus of you

Last steps completed on this build
I bought a billet compressor wheel for the CT26. The goal was to have more air beyond 5500 rpm because that is the point where with the stock CT26 pressure started dropping.







I built it on a spare CT26 so that I could send it in for balancing and still was able to drive the car...it's actually my daily
The result is very satisfying: It does exactly what I hoped it would. I now have still 1 bar of boost up to 7000 rpm. from there it starts losing pressure, but there are anyway only 300 rpm left till redline.
Calculated power is now at 350 hp and 317 ft/lb of torque (at the crank)... Compressor efficiency must also have gone up, because percentage wise I gained a bit more power compared to the increased boost pressure.
I'm done searching for more power
I mostly did this step out of curiosity about the billet comp. wheels... I just wanted to know if/where/how it makes more power.
