Man, you managed 5 psi! Thats great. Thanks for keeping us updated. Your like the guinea pig. I'm taking notes on all these problems so that when I become the 2nd person to turbo with the 16g, I'll know what to look for/fix
okay, InitialDracer (thanks
) was right about the fuel lines, I was using a vaccum lines that's why it keep busting it out, I bought ss braided fuel lines and wallaw, it's sealed and no more leak
. I actually got my downpipe redone and I am now running with full custom exhaust which sound WAY better. I had little fun afterwards, the car just pull around 3.5 rpm and it blows the valve around 5 rpm (pretty loud outside and that $77 bov actually works)

Good job pare, let's see some new pics! Get those pipes powdercoated or painted chrome and get some silicone couplers to match up the looks. Plan on upgrading your internals as well?

Everything is fine now (hopefully) I have new pics and new vids (
)... give me minute..
Here are some new pics.
Yeah, I need a mesh...
The vent is really helpful for me.
Videos (sorry it's short), I didn't have enough gas to go to freeway.
, just drove it around the block. You will notice I have a gauge pod so don't laugh at me lol, just bracket and double side taped it lol, I'll get one this Saturday. Well I boost up 3 at first gear and get more boost at 2nd gear (5)
. I must say, big difference from the stock power.

Hey Azn.. I just started building my turbo header setup for my Honda hatch in a similar way I suggested to you, I'll start a thread in another location for it. I need a source for a D-series honda header flange in stainless though..
BTW I'm going to talk to one of the header vendors about producing headers with the evo twin-scroll flange already installed on it.. this will save you guys alot of headaches..

And sometimes you can't get them as tight as you need. Fuel should be approached with safety in mind.Glad it worked out
