Anyone dynoed ported, cermaic, and cryoed S3? Also, what kind of gains have you guys seen with the DCR mod? It seems like everyone I have talked to about it did it before they ever installed S3. It sucks because I have never heard any kind of feedback (they just say it is awesome because they never had S3 previously).
I have all that, but I haven't been to the dyno with it yet. I had all this done before I intalled the stage 3 so I can't compare a stock stage 3 to my stage 3 setup. I will try to get the dyno soon just to see what she puts down. I don't have the money for the dyno pulls right now though.
On a side note: HOM kicks a**!
I am thinking and pretty much what I have heard is that the stage 3 dcr mod is pointless. Not one person has posted improved track times or dyno numbers from this mod, and it has been around for a while.

I have had many customers send in there used Stg3's and they were VERY happy with the results. Look up "Thesleeper" as he is one of the very first ones we did and he had nothing but good things to say about it. We still average ATLEAST one stage 3 a week at the shop (sometimes alot more) THere are some dyno numbers out but they were done on 2 completely differnet dynos.. He is still very pleased with the mod. Pointless? Go race a DCRS3R car
WHen I get my S3 I'll be doing what PCT01 has done.
What has he done?
He swapped out & upgraded the wheel. Shoot him a PM for all the details if your interested to know about it. The thread isn't around anymore I believe.

The Fed Ex man dropped of my stage 3 w/t kit today and after looking at the kit for a while I drove down to the local Fed Ex to ship out my s3 (turbo/exhaust manifold) for some more POWA mods..
I am getting everything pcto1 had done to his kit except the monster port on the manifold. The reason I decided not to port the manifold is because of the cracking issues that some of the s3 guys where seeing on their manifolds earlier in the year but I have seen a few post where people have indicated that the problem has been fixed on the new s3 kits with some type on web embedded in the exhaust manifold!
You read too many stories. Mopar didn't do a damn thing to those manifolds. We've seen stage 3 manifolds that have been through hell and back & have held up STRONG. Don't get me wrong, we're all for the DCR mod and porting stuff. Just don't see the need for it on a perfectly good turbo kit.
..I read two different post on this forum that made those statements but I was never sure if that was the case. Anyways at least I know the real deal now hence my decision not to port the manifold..
