2. What you were trying to achieve with that PCV, I've done / tested / got results / and posted those longer before you probably knew about it.
3. What you don't realize is that your car wont make it boosting for longer time, wont make it boosting in the southern states, and wont make it on the track either.
but based on some of the replies here, I don't have a clue what so ever, so don't listen to me ... I'll see what you post elsewhere anyways, so just don't bother on this one anymore

2. thats great you tested what was done. you didn't post any concrete evidence in that thread you only posted your BS opinions which were proven wrong by myself AND other members
3. as i told you before i've been boosting this setup for OVER a year now. actually a year and a half. and this is daily driven to boot. so i'd say she's doing pretty damn well
and finally.. as other people have said, try to not take it to heart so much. i know even i can get heated up at times but in the end things cool down, its all good. its just a forum

That's me, and it goes hand in hand with tiny turbine sides strangling the engine by not letting it expel the thermal energy in the exhaust charge.
Frankly, if you're willing to fork out for racegas and trim your ignition timing, you can get a pretty sizeable chunk of power out of a given turbo by spinning it to the point it blows hot air. This is the difference between streetcar and racecar, making money at the races and saving money by keeping things reliable.

That's not a big suprise, haha. I hope you know Joseph that I side with you on this issue in many of my turbo preference debates. I thought about it and it's very very smart and a simple concept to understand.
As to the Det-Cans, I'm confused how you crimp one end and still are able to "bolt" it through that tube to the block without any resonance dissapating into the atmosphere. I want to try it just for the sake of curiousity but the design to force sound through the tubes seems off when a bolt is placed through the body of it.

Re: thinking about 1BAR
i dont agree with DSM injectors are just as good as new ones. i took my injectors (blue top 450s) to Pro Flow and had them flow test them. from the set of 4 (which were all pulled from the same car) there was a 5-9% difference in flow. thats a huge difference. DSMs are cheap so i just threw them away. I now use precision injectors which i had tested and were within 1% of each other.

If there was a 5-9% variance in any significant portion of DSM 450cc, it would be noticed on the grassroots tuenarboi level and people like myself would be screaming bloody murder.

I would like to know this. It matters.
