That 1g dsm sounds nice, I didn't think it'd be that loud...something more to look forward to for me :)

Nice setup

hrmmm....i know you're running straight out the o2 housing but it doesn't sound right, are you boosting 1psi by choice or is it not going past 1psi?

Damn nice IC mounts, and nice little strap holding up the upper IC pipe.. rofl.. 1psi eh? turn that bitch up to 8 and feel some power.

I didnt really hear the bov that much in that video, all you really hear is the turbo spooling up and down.

Whoops sorry guys. I forgot to update this post. I took my air filter off (aka shop rag) and gained 6psi and an unimaginable amount of power. This thing PULLS. I was running with open O2 for a while and 2nd gear tore it up. This wasn't even tuned either and it's STILL FAST.

Then I went to a muffler shop to get a downpipe made. The damn bends are too small and I have a too much lag now and it dropped the power. I need a new downpipe :) But it still kicks ass! Time to buy a welder and give JCwhitney another call.

Thanks guys for the compliments. BOOST ROCKS! And I just bought a daily driver this weekend as well. 1989 civic DX (4 door) haha it's fun as hell.

This car is FLAWLESS. Idles perfect, transition into boost is not a problem (just kicks ya right in the ass), startup is amazing, part throttle? LIKE STOCK. This car DRIVES like stock and it's not even tuned. It's amazing.

THANK YOU GUYS FOR EVERYTHING. I COULDN'T HAVE DONE THIS WITHOUT YOU!

-Dan Leslie (ill keep you guys updated). OH and i've done numberous compression tests. My most recent after 3 weeks of driving is 180psi across the board ;D It's great

Nope :). I wouldn't go T25 if that's what you have.
