What have you done to your MSP today?

i got the msp inspected today finially..it wouldnt pass the sound test for the exhaust (but it passed the sniffer without any cats) so a 4" silencer (then to find out the perrin exhaust tip must be a hair shy of 4") completed the task with some hvac tape from ace hardware...went right through and they didnt even ask whats the tape for lmao
 
bOOST gauge line was cracked(can't see where). So disconnected it just on a hunch, and yes. My cars problems are fixed. My idle was dipping like crazy and the car was stalling alot.
Now it runs good, the idle doesnt drop or try to stall. Stalls every once in awhile but thats because o the bov.

Yey!
 
Yesterday I installed a ProSport White and Amber Boost gauge
Today I Replaced my leaky WGA and my car is running great at 7psi.
Got my turbo timer in today, thats a project for the weekend.
 
i stared at mine in the parking lot i had to ditch it in last night bc its misfiring again. flashing CEL, last time it was p0300. im gonna try replacing the coils.
 
Cleaned the IAC really good last night to get rid of the only code i have,
p0507. Seemed like it helped a little bit but after driving around the CEL came back on.
Also replaced my stock wastegate with a forge one, but couldnt really test the car out because of hitting fuel cut. I think i need to adjust the wastegate still because i did hit 11psi pretty quickly in 2nd gear.I have the 5psi spring in there and have a turboXS mbc thats completly turned down.
Last thing i did while the car was in the garage was to try and take care of every rattle that i knew of and could fine but thats a never ending project with this car it seems.
Should have an ssafc v2 here by next week as well and hoping to pick up a wideband by the time it gets here.

What turbo are you running? Custom piping for external wastegate?

With the forge motorsports actuator you can actually open it up and change the internal spring. Its housing it setup very similar to how the BOV is setup.

Just a little heads up but the safc does not work well at all on the MSP unfortunatly dont wast your money or time and look into the AFC that is specifically made for the MSP

OK, that's what I was phishing for, he has a forge WGA, his post just labels it as a forge WG. I was thinking along those lines just wanted to know for certain if that is what he meant.

Yes i have the adjustable forge wastegate and i have the 5psi spring inside.

I dont understand what you mean about the split second, everyone seems to love it for what it is and for the price of it. Im not trying to push tons of power, i just want the usual MSP fuel problems to be gone so i can enjoy the car more.

You have the WG actuator, not the WG itself.

ahh no way, i was disapointed to hear they dont work since i already have a brand new one i dont really need from another car. That woulda been installed the first day i bought the car if it worked.
