T3 install Success!!
After finally having the time and cash to get my ---- together and install my garrett T3 ive had laying around my shop for 5 years, im very glad to say it was worth all the blood sweat n tears it took for the job... it took 12 hours thanks to the douchebag who sent me the wrong fkin head gasket, but it was well worth the wait, my setup is capable of 25psi+ if i find the need to send my pistons to the ground... so a new head gasket and 90 degrees extra on my head studs is what you need for enthusiastic daily driving.. im using a manual boost contoler and a boost gauge to monitor the boost, i keep it round 15-20 psi due to the 300 000K wear on the cylnder walls.. eventually i'll need to redo my bottom end if i want to go any further in my moifications... for now, i simply adjusted my fuel overall fuel screw and modified my boost pin on my fuel pump to richen up the now recently lean air mixture provided by the T3, it has alot more volumetric efficiency than the old K03 I had on it... (which i plan on puting on my accord ;D..) Im currently running my downpipe as an exaust system, is about a foot long, so it makes a nice grunt, the muffler in back is basiccally a prop! i have more moifications planned but no more money... if anyone has any suggestions, im all ears, thanks to all.

AccordNation: Are you on vwdiesel.net ??? My buddy Dave@passengerdiesel just made 193whp on a 1.6 idi with a 1.9 head. I wouldn't worry about the extra 5psi I have run 35psi forever and never had a problem (other then blowing turbo's from overspinning them. In reality that turbo just starts pushing hot air after 24psi or so anyway.
