Disco Potato MSP up and Running!

Flying lead harness shouldn't be that bad. I read through a lot of the installation manual, and it's nothing too complicated.

(rofl) Sorry had to do it, I'll have real pictures up by the end of the weekend, I promise.
I smell a new avatar.

nice. we demand numbers
numbers are forthcoming... We did some initial dyno tuning, but it turns out there were problems with the car that were hurting the performance and the tune. So ya'll will just have to sit tight till I get all the kinks worked out (busted radiator fan, cracked factory manifold (the manifold was cracked before this whole upgrade adventure began), loose s-pipe/turbo connection, etc...)

i should have my potato boiling on thursday. Headed off to get the beast dyno tuned. I am hoping for 300 wheel at 17 psi or so.

azian- do you have that thing broken in yet?

haa yes for sure.

I had the engine rebuilt at 8600 miles and i now have 14K on my car. Thus the new motor has had 5400 miles on it. The new turbo has been on the car for about the last 1K miles running the stock pcm at low boost.

The car is more then ready for bigger boost.

Jhotrod, are you still going to use the stock fuel pump or upgrade? I have a nippondenso very high flow pump, but i am wondering if the stock pump can flow enough for 17 psi on a big gt28rs.

Any suggestions?

I doubt the pump will be able to flow that much PSI with a potato....you gonna dyno your car with stock PCM? I'd like to know how it does.
 
no i will be doing the haltech, thus the dyno tune. I am not able to tune the stock pcm without it.

I am wondering about the stock pump because mpnick used it for about 328 whp which is alot. Then again my turbo is alot bigger then mpnicks and i think it will flow way more hp at comparable psi's that he was running. I have it, i might as well put it in i guess if i am able to control it.

Yes, I am running the walbro 255lph fuel pump. No problems with getting enough fuel at all.
