let me know when you get it done,are you going to have the boost and air fuel gauge hooked up and remember the boost contoller was set at 7psi and tapered to 6psi

 

i thot you had it set at 5psi? i dont want to run 7 pounds without a front mount. ill have the boost gauge setup but not hte airfuel gauge. to change the boost i just turn the knob on the boost controller right?

 

yeah. but just watch the gauge and see what it reads

 

ok, im going to get the rrm cf dual gauge pod so i can see the gauges mroe easily bc i dotn want to be trying to look that te boost in the glove box and then look up to see a tree.

 

good point

 

everything installed and working fine as of now, will post pics in a day or two.

 

hey mike if you have any questions fell free to call me at work you will notice that first takes a little longer to get into boost like 4000 rpm second about 3500 third through fourth about 2500. It sounds mean when the wastegate opens up have fun boosting

 

since your done, after about a week of driving on it, go over everything and tighten things back up, especially the wastegate, it has a tendency to losen up, and make sure your oil line isnt looking for the turbo, you will kno, you'll see black stuff around it, if your tuning the boost, depending on the boost gauge, if it is in BARS it should be at about .4 for what you want, .4-.5, shouldnt spike higher than that

 

ok thanks for the advice guys.

 

dang post pics already! i love looking at sexy turbos

mike... isnt boost the shizzle?

 

oh its very nice, ive already smoked some civic that tried me just 3 hours after putting finishing it, but it was jsut a civic. i really want to eat up some domestics. it probably will not be until next week that id be able to get pics up. im oging to a dyno tomo tho with some friends, but im not going to dyno mine till i get the front mount.

do you guys think i really need to install the air fuel gauge and turbo timer?

 

I would!
Congrats on the turbo.

 

ok ill probably install the TT but not hte AF gauge. i still need to order te cf gauge pod from rrm so the boost gauge stops flying around on top of my dash lol. i jsut let my dad drive it adn he just started laughing.

 

The A/F guage is more important than the TT, you could always sit in the car for a minute but you can't tell A/F .

 

would an egt gauge be more useful?
