in all honesty, how much power do you think that's going to put down to the wheels? I think it looks pretty good though man. good job doing it all alone.

My exhaust is getting welded. YAY
and while driving to the shop my turbo oil
gasket thing started to leak. boo
Does anybody with a voltage clamp hear this weird ass noise when it activates?
Cleaning up treys drive way right now.
I'm so happy with the results.
I hope my tbolt clamps come in so I can instal them and actualy FINISH this build. Oh I need to make an intake too.

nice, voltage clamp is quiet in my car, check for a vaccum leak..

get some pics up and a dyno run man!!!

btw, what psi its at right now??

 

[Shane5425]

are u using the stock wastegate that came on the turbo??

 

[Shane5425]

if the fuel setup is right, i suspect ur running about 110 to 120whp.. thats what i am running, about... and my car is runnign 5-6psi right now

 

[Shane5425]

ill let you know when i find the stock replacement for that actuator.. that one is prolly no better than teh one u had on it..

 

[Shane5425]

forge replacement.. a lil pricey though, i am lookin for a oem one right now..
