Default finally boosted---pics and problems

finally did my ----.
z6/a6 minime- arp's, act clutch, recent rebuild
t3/t04b .50 trim 48/60 rebuilt by blaast
520cc injectors
hf mani
homemade charge pipes 2.5" gettin them powdercoated soon for free
2.5-3" dp
3" exhaust to magnaflow
greddy style bov
crome
everything was done by me
had to make the pipes to fit my eg fogs.

it idles very well after i adjusted the fuel multiplier. tune cuts out in boost. i dont have a wideband

PROBLEMS: boost wouldnt build with internal wastegate- only got to about 3 psi. i fixed all the leaks and still wouldnt do more than 3psi. manifold had a leak from no gasket but i made a gasket for it
blocked off wastegate line and it builds to about 8psi but i think the tune is bad as it studders when boost hits.



the oil line fitting on turbo broke today. it was too big so i grinded it down and jbwelded it in. anyone know the right size?

Stop trying to build boost in neutral, you need load
to create boost.

Solid HMT. The olive drab vc is a nice touch.
