WARNING: NSFCP (not safe for calm people)

Just imagine how 15psi with engine management feels. :)

Glad to hear you're running well, postwhore. :-p

Do you have the sleeper or thumper kit?
 
matt... i'm glad you enjoy the kit... i've got a custom kit with some mam parts... and i love them... the disco potato is definately the way to go... my gt28r spools at like 2200 - 2500. the mam downpipe is awesome... i always say... simplicity at it's best... the downpipe is simple... and rocks... you hear EVERYTHING... from valves... to waste gate... to turbo spool up...

get some awr motor mount (both front and rear) that will definately help you out with the torque steer and the wheel hop...

i'm running 10 lbs (so my gauge says... i still have to verify what spring is in this wastegate... they told me it was a 6.5) the car freakin rips... i got a begi and a volatage clamp...

the ecu isn't pulling fuel because you are at WOT when pushing boost... get into boost without WOT and you will see that the ecu will pull fuel (open loop vs closed loop)

boost is fun... enjoy the kit... don't get too boost happy... (and please dont put one of those "boost inside" stickers on your car... too many ricers out their already) :-)

car looks good... keep up the good work... who installed your kit? did you install it yourself?

get the rear mount... might help with the torque steer... and will DEFINATELY help you get more power to the ground... also makes your car shake like a grand prix car...

10psi? With no timing control? Better get a motor on order...
 
ok... just think it might help... i don't get much torque steer... and i'm at 10 lbs... but then again... my clutch is slipping (still stock) and i'm used to torque steer... you learn alot about it driving turbo prelude bubbles... and gsr hatchbacks...

i was thinkin the same thing but i was trying to talk to my GF and didnt ahve the hands to post.

anyways, i ran 10psi for about two days (but not consitently) and i had enough fuel, but my car is so loud i couldnt hear knock so i turned it down.

Link to pics of your setup?

Think you may someday upgrade to thumper? That mani looks damn sweet. Thick, beefy metal, and the collector is the first I've seen that is done correctly for our cars.

i had the rear mount got rid of it.
Yeah, that rear mount is tough. Hopefully if my rear mount proves to last you can run one of those someday.

i gave up trying to get that b**** in. everything i do with my car is by myself. all my friends would say "yea ill help with the turbo etc" and instead i normally end up with the car on a lift, me sitting on the lift with my left leg under the car holding up the downpipe and exhaust while i bolt it to the mani/turbo.
 
really... i'm not getting any knock or ping (as of yet) motor seems to be taking it really well... i only really got on it twice though... had my car running for about a week already... i really need to replace that clutch... i was thinking about going with the SPEC clutch that beau is selling... it's a stage3 and it's fairly inexpensive... but i'm a clutchmaster kinda guy ... i'm not sure if i will like the SPEC clutch...

what octane are you running? are you sure you cant hear the knock cause the turbo is so loud?
