Glad to hear you got it going again! Good job on the install and whatnot. If you ever take a cruise up to east TN, hit me up. I'll show you some curvies you'd never imagine.

How much boost you running now?

God!! That is how much power I want. That is a perfect amount. How much did all the turbo and other upgrades cost you so far?? Lol, what like 6-8 grand??

I can't believe you have a stock fan still. An elect fan is easy if you have the stock A/C fan still in there. Just wire it to your fuel pump fuse and viola. $0.59 and you've just gained 7-10whp. It actually makes the car run cooler than with the stock clutch fan. I have an N/A though, so IDK if that turbo will heat things up more or not though................Just a thought.

Ever dynoed it?? I'm curious.

Can't wait till I get the consult to check my timing. Then I can fine tune an get the extra power. Gauge says 8psi, but it's a 10psi spring.The spring could of lsot some of it's springyiness* but Where I got it tapped for it, it could be leaking a little.I got a place in town that has 100 octane Might go to the track this weekend or middle of next week.I was shifting early too....Only problem is a slight leak where I got my oil pressure gauge.Just need to tighten it up. And have a battery issue.Something isn't tight or battery is bad.

what kind of turbo are you running that on

hes doing it on a t3/t4, if you have a t3 or t25 hes making a lot more power than you at the same pressure

does the gauge get pressure from the manifold or right after the turbo? if manifold then 2psi pressure drop sounds about right for most turbo setups

This is correct. My spring is 8psi and I was seeing 6-7psi without the MBC.
