Well when I was using the shop rag, I could barely hit 1psi.
I take off the shoprag and use some window screen I hit 9PSI! on a STOCk D16z6 engine. I blew off the JB welds on the IC so I just used JB Kwick and a little Duct take lol. Holds great!
This car HAULS ***. Too bad im using a stock 134,000 mile clutch! I can only use 1/2 (most i used was 57%) throttle and GOOOD LORD! Talk about boost!
SVO T3 60 trim .60/.63
93 octane
DSM 450's
BKR7ES (2 step colder) plugs
Timing retarded 2 degrees
and 35% across the board on the hack!! There's more left in this setup and I can't wait to find it.
Just wanted to let you know how things are going. I'll have a vid up shortly

settle down cowboy !! 9psi with that turbo could kill a Z6 quick. Take your time and tune it slowly..
Getting DP made tomorrow for the WRX set-up..
I guess the shop rag is only good for 100hp...

Haha 9 psi after the shop rag filter is off huh? Thats more like it. That seems like a big turbo on that engine. Maybe I'm wrong. when does that bad boy start to spool up?

I kinda had the same thing happen to a buddy of mine. We installed a set of webers on his ls motor and ran pantyhose until he get his filters. The car would just fall on it's face at like 5500 rpm. We were stumped for a couple days trying everything. Ended up being the damn pantyhoses were getting sucked down into the manifold. Took them off motor freakin ripped. Ya be careful with that much boost starting off. You may want to take some more timing out of the car. Also what plugs are you running. Ngk colder plugs are a f.i. friend. Good work, I can't wait to get mine done almost.
