Finally boosted! (with pics)
I finally finished my set-up on my y8. Setup includes as follows:
Ford T3 60/48
Ghetto D AC Mani
Ghetto D 2.5 AC Downpipe
Ghetto D dumptube
Uberdata
DSM 450's
Tial 38mm
5" JRC FMIC
DSM BOV
Stealthmode oil lines
JC whitney IC pipes
Problems I have run into...
Since I've ran the car with the turbo on, I have noticed lots of white smoke out of the muffler and from the turbo. I expected some from the turbo since I just put the thing in, but the smoke from the exhaust was unbelievable. When I drove her people had to switch lanes to avoid my wrath. This was a test drive with no boost with the IC pipes disconnected. I noticed some leakage from the exhaust housing between the center section and between it and the DP. The oil pressure was also unbelievably high on start up at around 80psi and lower as it warms up.
When I connected the charge pipes I noticed lower oil pressure when cruising and in boost.(now running on my basemap) It was at night and I think there was a lot less smoke coming from the exhaust. The turbo did smoke a lot. I do not have pics of the oil return but I'm pretty sure I need to shorten it and the turbo sits pretty low considering where my pan is tapped. I bought stealthmode's restrictor vavle for the pressure and hope to receive that soon. Any help is appreciated.
Ignore the tie-wraps, it's bolted down now

Well I don't need someone to burn me a basemap. I'm running off of a pretty conservative basemap that will atleast let me drive til I decide to tune it for better performance and gas mileage.
