Do you mean no wastegate whatsoever? or its just not hooked up?

My first HMT took about a week. Second one took morning till night and about 20 trips to lowes and autozone. Well, didnt technically FINISH it. It was non-intercooled and open down-pipe

Well he has a wastegate, internal, but not connected, so the turbo is giving him all the boost it can, whatever it is, i'm sure is enough to blow the engine. He told me he ran it once, when he went to second gear something happened that the car just turned off and didn't want to turn back on, he still doesn't know what, I have a feeling that he needs a new engine already. Oh he also doesn't have any check valves or anything to fool the map sensor.

Wastegates are kinda overrated anyway. Real men control boost with the pedal on the right.

i need to get a shitload of stuff just to turbo my car. its better to buy a trubo engine, tranny, and driveshaft and call it a day.o and a new ecu. lol.

Kain, don't try and say ---- to me about Rx-7s, I know what they are like, and I decided long ago that they are gay as ---- up your ass.

The Na motors are completely different then the Turbo II motors, so to turbo your NA car, you need the engine, all electronics, transmission, driveshaft, and while you are at it you might as well get the rear end forma turbo 2(unless you have a gXL, then you already have LSD) but yeah Rx-7 burn way too much gas, it just isn't worth it in my opinion to own a FC.

My buddy has a bridge ported Rx-7 with a huge snail, now that things sounds cool at idle(burns so much ------- gass too has 1600cc secondaries).

There must be another BLACK_DEL_SOL on here that you are talking about because theres no way you are talking about the person who started this any every other lame thread posted in the last month.

The day BLACK_DEL_SOL builds his own turbo kit is the day I go to Canada and ass rape Spenser. He'll probably just post pics of somebody else's turbo kit and pass it off as his own like he did before with his car.
