13 deg btdc?!? How much boost are you running? That seems very conservative....When I was running like 7 psi before my JWT set up I barely had the timing retarded and it ran like a champ. The problem with retarded timing is that you WILL get obnoxious low rpm hesitation....it just feels so sluggish. It's amazing what advancing your timing even 2 degrees can do to the overall feel of the power delivery.Jookmasta wrote:240sicknessx and willfastbackse share part of the glory for the setup as they helped me ALOT with this setup.

I have the greddy kit and what they did was just make the lines longer so that it clears the hot pipe all you need its some ruber lines that are slightly longer thats at least how I did mine I guess you could make some custom bracket but the longer lines so it fits seems to be easy and cheep all you need is ps fluid and the cost of the lineJookmasta wrote:First off, let me address my biggest issue with my setup. This is my power steering reservoir. i am open to any suggestions as to where to place this without redoing the hotpipe. Its my fault for not bolting it back up before taking the car to the muffler shop but what to do with it?
