trust me, i bought it for a reason. i got a y7 block in my shed that im gonna build the ---- out of over the winter. my engine has 160k on it right now so i dont really plan on beating the ---- out of it. 10psi untill then... finished the exhaust tonight.. still no muffler but it runs a hell of alot better then just running a downpipe. it somewhat tuned itself by having the full exhaust on. part throttle is smooth as ---- and i can give it full throttle to redline without it breaking up anymore. i think i'll be turning up the boost tomorrow in preperation for friday night street races in philly. hopefully some of you NE guys will recognize the whip

yep, if it wansnt for this site.. id have a poor piece of ---- turbo setup. its actually good that it took me so long to save up for the whole thing, i was planning on using an afc in the beginning because i dont know DICK about computers. but by the time i got all the parts, i figured out uber is actually easier and cheaper than the hack. HMT OWNS MY *** TOO!!!

put a load-bearing support on that wastegate. I'd hate for you to hit a bump and it breaks the weld. Looks great man!

its been doing fine so far, its a cast steel weld el. Like .25" wall thickness. The welder that did that (not the same guy that welded the chargepipes, obviously) said it shouldnt need a support. Plus, the other end is already resting on the rad shrowd

thanks though
