this project is looking pretty good since the last time i saw it. good job man

HUGE difference with the backdoor setup and the equal manifold.. turbo spools almost instantly from stabbing the throttle at a 5th gear (low speed) cruise.

this had me pretty irate; vacuum line nipple/banjo fitting ------- broke when I was trying to adjust it.. luckily there was enough left so I could clamp the line to the leftover..

also having a little bit of an oil problem.. oil drips a few times from the CHRA after driving. I need a 45* off the drain fitting so I can clock the drain vertical again

Hard to believe that wastegate seals with the inlet flange welded on backwards. Nice build. I like the Wb in the cluster, but I wouldn't sacrifice my tach for it.

Good eye, i though that was for the fire ring, but then remembered that it's only for the waste gate.


marcj, if you do have shitty spool time or leaks that will mostly be your problem.

I actually have one of those metal-ish gaskets and the valve seat so it seals fine.. the spool time is ------- awesome from the previous manifold/intercooler setup. I've always driven based on listening to the engine, so why bother with the tach? I have datalogging to see RPMs if i'm tuning. also I plan on getting a good tach once it becomes a track ready setup :6
thanks.. looking for low 400hp with meth/water injection. I'd rather keep the numbers safe.

oh yea, CSaddict, my wastegate was a 35mm tial I got for 50 bucks with no fire ring. I found a 38mm ring so I took the dremel to the 35 and made the ring fit.. so now it's pressed in and doesn't come out at all.. so it doesn't need the flange to press the ring against the valve. O0'ish I know
