As of tonight this is all to the best of my knowledge it does suck becuase there's always something I am forgetting.
Sorry long mod list yeah thus far I am running off the 4 lb spring in my wastegate but it still pushes to 6 lbs the only problem I am running into is the clutch is slipping its *** off after I hit second and get into boost so thus far I am not one hundred percent sure on just how bad my boost creep is going to be.
AND YES YES I WILL GET RID OF THE ------- FMU I HAD TO TRACK DOWN AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND USED THAT TO RULE OUT THE ECU AS MY PROBLEM
but all in all I love

Re: 89 Prelude turbo B20A (HOLSET BALLAH)
I would find, or have a radiator made that will fit better than that, and allow you to put a filter on your turbo. Your setup is gangster pimp and true HMT, but IMO could use a little refinement. Are you still running the FMU?
