so i found out i was not hitting the wastegate pressure yet, or my wastegate is useless... either way i found out that my turbo to manifold connection had lost a bolt (1/4) so I installed it and it started to spool sooner, be quieter and hit ~25psi and maybe a little more towards redline... lol. Perhaps one day I will ----- out and jbweld on a china wastegate to keep the boost below 2 bar lol

 

more pics of the piping

 

uggghhh it takes like ten minutes to do that, too much work... let me see if i have some old ones...

these are from before the IC was mounted right but the piping is VERY obvious to do... there is only one space 3" pipes fit on both sides...

 

dam thats some huge pipe 2.75"

 

3"

 

That thing looks slow as *****. Is it?

 

its slow as ***** until I get on the freeway lol... its got like 1k rpm of boost in first, 5500-7 in 2nd, but 3-5 I get half the rpm band worth of 25psi goodness...I'd love to get a decent speedo shot on the highway but i dont have my camera with me most nights out....
but out of boost it is a DOG I dont know how people drive these cars stock.
but yeh, videos of the car in 1-2 = worthless :P

 

I have a friend who says that 2.5" piping is capable of flowing 800 cfm's worth of air....he may be wrong, but if he isn't there's no need to be running 3". Might be a factor in why it's taking so long for the car to be making power in the lower gears. Only 1k rpm worth of boost in 1st gear??

 

I got what I got, and I love it... end of discussion :P

In case someone doesnt know I am a fan of the feeling of a hard hitting late spooling turbos.... ---- powerband!

 

you must have pretty much got rid of the bottom of the front bumper and made a new bottom out that lip im guessing cause there aint ---- for room behind the stock one... i think im gona go with sandwich one in front the radiator and a pull fan

wheres your MAF anyways i cant see it, does it have to be before the BOV? ---- mafs
