i have the TSI IC kit and my advice make sure you get wideband tuning before you take it out to race or whatever make sur eyou get it on the dyno asap trust me im on my third motor also upgrade your internals other wise youll only be able to run low boost 14lbs max ummm get an IC i found the stock evo IC to be a good match for this kit, and upgrade to a big t28 its worth it ok im done im out
ROFLOL...
I love how you say you "low boost 14psi".... that is an insane number for low boost on these internals. Remember, these are not DSMs here, these cars were not built for boost. Most on this site wont see a consistent 14psi in their lives.

Well, I got it installed... I'll get some pics and some install tips up later. I have a few problems;
1) It is burning some oil (more than it should) oil catch tank may solve the problem.
2) The BOV is a little stiff for the application (used BOV from RX7)
3) It stumbles a little under load (only have 1 O2 sensor at the moment)
I am only boosting 5 psi max on it and I do notice quite a difference. I am not pushing it until I get all of the bumps smoothed out.

if you are having trouble with teh rx7 bov, try getting a 2g bov. you can get those for really cheap and you dont have to pay the extra couple bucks to even get a 1g since you are barely boosting any psi.

Good luck.
The turb set up already has the MAS on the intake side of the turbo with the BOV recirculated behind the MAS. The vacum line to the BOV is on the intake manifold in the same line as the FPR. Should I move the source for the vacum hose? I am trying to figure out what causes the stumbling under load, but have had no luck as of yet.
okay... you are detonating. You don't have enough fuel pressure to give you the fuel you require to even run 4 psi on the 1:1 ratio regulator your using.
You have 3 options...
1) Ditch the regulator, put on the stock one, and then put in a 10:1 or 12:1 fmu mounted inline with the stock regulator line that goes back to tank. This will make the fuel pressure rise a lot when boost hits and settle out your fuel.
2) Raise the fuel pressure to about 58-60psi on that 1:1 regulator. This will fix your boost areas a bit(not perfect) but you'll need a piggy to take out the fuel down low as your driveability area will be way overly rich.
3) Put in bigger injectors, probably 470cc's, and use a piggy back to tune them out for driveability and to give you fuel for boost.
Option one is the cheap and easy way out... i suggest that you do that. You can only detonate so much before the pistons will break. You may have weakened them as is and they may break later from boosting. If you've been going easy on it then you should be okay but follow one of these suggestions to get you the fuel you'll need for boost.
Good luck... hope this helps.

I just read your post... option 1 was done this afternoon actually! I have a Vortec 12:1 FMU now and it fixed the problem... Running quite rich at times. I only felt the detonation a time or two before I cut the boost, so I know I didn't do much damage if any. Anyway... thanks for all your help Boe!! I hope to get so pics up as soon as I have something other than my Camera phone (IE: friends 2mp digi cam).
