Congrats Chris on getting this beast back up. Sorry i haven't been around for a while. I had midterms last week and been without a car for the past few days so getting around and trying to get things done has been a royal pain in the arse.

honestly it doesnt seem as good as the first time (guess it never does..lol) plus the other cars iv tuned have a much better turbo than i do so mine seems slow in compairison. Still need alot more tuning on my car than just the 30min to an hour i got to spend on it friday but im still not expecting alot considering the turbo, pressure level, and the oversized intercooler. Reaching wastegate pressure takes a little longer this time, I assume its the larger pipes and intercooler causing this. However this is just only from like i said 30min-hour of driving, ill just have to see what happens with a little more time spent on it.

Thanks Chris, its been a long time comeing. I almost gave up on it, just didnt seem worth it and my engine isnt exactly in the best of health. Hell even dealing with the chargepipes alone made me want to shot my self but in the end it worked out. I still got some work to do as soon as i can manage to get to it. This weekend of course is easter so nothing is getting done and monday im off to katy. Tue or Wed Iv got another customer so that may only leave me thursday to work on my project and thats still a maybe.

crush02342002 04-03-2010 03:42 PM

so chris why were you without your car? btw iv been sending payment requests to your boy but it seems he is ignoring them.

Hey Chris, 38mm wastegate is good for what psi ? cuz i've been thinking if i go 20psi in the future do i need 44-45mm or 38 is fine ?

Ace83 04-03-2010 04:02 PM

^^ you will be good with 38mm, you will require bigger usually at low boost or really huge turbo

crush02342002 04-03-2010 04:21 PM

yev im not sure, its all about evacuating exhaust effeciantly. If a wastegate cannot do this youll have boost creep where the turbo will just keep spooling faster and faster. My advice to you is to use what you got and if you run into any overboosting issues then maybe its time to go up in size. The more air you can pack into an engine the more exhaust your gonna get, the more exhaust you have the more your gonna need to evacuate to keep boost to a preset level. So in short what ace said...lol

I dropped it off at the shop on wed to get a few things fixed on it, mainly my exhaust dragging on the flow plus i needed to get a stud fix. I ordered a new muffler which is skinnier that the one i had on there now but my mechanic told me on thursday that it was too long and wouldn't fit there i wanted it so now i had to order another muffler that thats shorter in length in order to make it work. I ordered the new muffler on Thursday and paid an extra $30 to have it shipped next day air but still nothing and the company hasn't sent me any updates. Its really ticking me off cause its hard for me to get around. I've been taking cabs to and from work since wed. Whats really tickin me off is that the shop i ordered the muffler from is only 2 hours.

Oh yeah as for pierre i haven't really seen him in a while. He texts me every now and then but thats about it. I wish i had the extra bread man i def would pay you to cover for his shipping cost.

crush02342002 04-03-2010 07:31 PM

You can't boost at all with stock injectors.
