Actually in the last few weeks I've done a number of surprising cars, but I didn't want to be a post whore.
Some interesting tidbits:
stock vf39, stock exhaust (including stock dp and cat!), but FMIC and injectors (only mods). I tried this setup just for experimental purposes really, since almost everyone who goes FMIC has turbo this and exhaust. This was mostly to prove the point of an FMIC on an otherwise totlly stock setup, which we discussed on a thread here on van nasioc a while ago. This ran 270, which is way more than I thought it would do, its comparable to doing injectors, catless DP, wg port and catback (with the stock TMIC). We will have a car with all of the above (but still with bone stock turbo to show) in a few weeks. That was a surprise. No where near as laggy as I thought it would be. I ended up putting this on my car actually.
and
stock bottom end, FMIC and a bolt-on gt30R (not rotated, but bolt on style - similar to a new offering that will be released soon) - 350 (pump gas, 21-22psi) - but its not even pushing the turbo hard as the pulls are pretty much back to back consistent every time - and there is no drop off like on a green
remember, stock is ~220.
