i accidently turned my boost controller the wrong way once, meant to turn it to 0 psi (so i could run straight wastegate) but i put it to 25psi by accident... lol car never pulled so hard and never shot a coupler off faster in its life!!

Cheap overboost protection
good point! haha the one that burst in that situation is also the same one in my other thread that i cant keep down for s***! haha
Try not knowing whether your gonna boost 6-15psi. Only way I know is if Im using 1/4 throttle and pulling hhhard. So I should let off and check the boost gauge... Forge WGA coming out.....
BTW, thanks for no response everyone!! The Popeperformance page shows a picture of the backside of the GT25, our exhaust housing dump flange does have a slight bend to it. So my wastegate is definitely one of the shady Forge units. As stated above 6-15 psi, no reliability.

Oh kay...
If I even had CF parts on my car they'd get painted in the factory color immediately. To each their own, I guess.

well I got some coilovers in a trade today looks like I'll be adding jic magic coilovers to my build
I started the clean up process of the exhaust, as between when i last owned it, and now it hasn't been cleaned at all I don't think. Just used water and a rag. You can see how scraped it is from being a underaxle, and from when I had the sportlines on my car.
The tips still in good shape and itll probably polish up nice
This flange used to be round lol
And full catback after a water, rag cleaning. The rust on the long pipe is the coating coming off I think, which is why the rest of it is orange. While my boy is making me a mid pipe, I may have him re make that piece
Also you can see the damage to the canister in this pic. Gonna see if we can fix it

yea man one of the endlink tabs is busted and so is one of the adjustment knobs but those are easy fixes. i think it worked out pretty good my exhaust and a small amount of cash for a high dollar set of jic magic flt-a2's

lol imo fortunes are better then bc's.
yea i'm amped on the JIC's joe it will be the first set of inverted monotube coilovers i've had. only thing im not excited about is the dampening adjusters being at the bottom instead of the engine bay.
lmao, uh, no.
Yeah, the only coilovers I would change to now would be JIC, or AWR. Anything else isn't really an upgrade.
