No. Get it tuned and run 15. 8 is the minimum you should be pushing. Tune it before you drive it another 50 miles and you'll be fine.

this thread is great! .....clean hatch by the way - i'm giong to have to paint my tail lights red too...

StinkyFeet

thanks man...

Not sure im liking my red tails anymore... Wanna trade?
Just dont paint the white area, It did not look good, and was a beotch to get off. (used Testors Candy Apple Red Transparent Paint) from a hobby shop.

Anyway, I keep retarding/advancing cam gear, and dizzy, with no real luck. HELP.

lookin good bro

thanks... I finally got my wastegate to push the 6lbs Ive been looking for. The only reason i want to push 6 and not stock 8 is because my basemap chip was purchased for 6lbs.

The way I got it to 6 was by installing 1 small washer behind each bracket nut. Effectively opening the flapper on the wastegate, but it now hesitates alot, and feels laggy getting up... So im just gonna take the washers out, and run the stock 8. I think they tuned my chip mildly enough that I will be fine with 8. Also, i might try leaking excess pressure out my charge pipe as that seemed to work good, not to mention sounded baddass. (whistle)

what kinda of piping is it? where did you get it?

look very cool!

2" inch rubber intercooler hose. Really thick stuff, (150psi tank truck hose) flexible (but not enuf to kink), Its also steel spiraled/reinforced.

well, spent awhile today, and got most of the bugs worked out... I fixed hesitation... put my old plugs back in. The ones i bought (ngk's) and gapped to .030 were just too much, and it was bogging cause the spark was too week. (at least I kno im getting enough fuel)

Set the wastegate back to stock (8psi) and running it on that for now... but im playing with leaking pressure out the charge pipe still to get it back to 6 w/o producing lag. (so idunno, but I dont like 8... scares me)

def much quicker now tho...

Walter

it look really awesome men, and where did you got that "kit" ?
