Very nice. Why did you put the steelies back on? Everything looks good. I don't like the OBX manifold though, but it looks nice. That intercooler looks bitchn'. You need a better camera though.

I got pressure drop too with the customcoach, but i gess thats normal because these are pretty large. i just connected my wastegate to a vacum line on the intake manifold instead of the turbo to the wastegate and got my psi back. now i just had a bit more lag. hey TYPER is that LACR in those pics??

wanna get rid of the pressure drop? this works with most turbos. instead of picking up the wastegate pressure from the compressor housing, cap that off at the housing and get the pressure reading directly off the intake. i did this little trick on my turbo supra and it has alot more midrange power now. it keeps your wastegate closed longer, until you get the actual pressure built up in the intake.

ok soo.. do i use the boost line or vacuum line? cuz the turbonectics delta gate has two lines a boost one and a vacuum one which one do i block off and which one do i T to the intake?
