44mm. it builds boost but i only have like 2500rpms to have fun with. I was logging it today, and everything is good. just boosts rrrreeeeaaaallllyyyy slow.

 

I see. What turbo kit is it? You said it's a 3076 right? No springs and retainers?

 

yeap, 3076 the kit was pieced togather from the guy that I bought it from. And i am running a stock head w/ cams. By the way Jspec, what setup are you going with? close to completion?

 

I heard there is going to be a car show down in Seward next weekend, anyone going? maybe get a cruise in before the winter.

 

Real close. The turbo is already waiting to be shipped, just waiting on the rest of the kit dp, mani, o2 housing, etc. Can't say what setup just yet though, it's going to be tricky tuning my cams and i might just go and do a Tial bov. How's the car running?

 

Car is running rich, then lean, then rich again......still working out the tune. Long process, you know. Thought I would post a pic of the setup! Tell me what you all think! By the way i have some of my old setup if anyone is looking for some parts. Here is the link if anyone is interested. http://www.alaskamotorsports.com/for...ad.php?t=41197

 

So which blow through setup you using? I talked w/Chris from Mellon tuning on here about it and he said its a little bit tricky to get it setup and such especially when the weather changes. Looks pretty good, hopefully you get the bugs fixed and such. Who's doing the tuning for ya?

 

im using the maf translator, its kicking my butt! I'm doing the tuning myself.

 

I live in Wasilla repin a evo 9

 

I used the MAF-T setup on my TT stealth with shares a very simular ecu/mas as the EVO. The problem is that it sends the ecu a fix baro and ait so it doesn't compensate for temp changes and the AFR can drift off especially if the temp changes 30+ degrees a day. I've tuned some EVOs with the MAF-T since then and the customers reported no noticeable ill effects related to this so maybe that's a problem of the past.

I've personally tested the stock mas up to 565awhp thus far and plan on pushing it further when my BR shorty/head/cams arrive so I don't see a good reason to go to the GM MAF yet and at that time I'll personally just go to the AEM EMS and do speed density instead.

 

^^Glad you chimed in. Thanks.

 

occasionally I'll do a search for "mellon" and luckily I found this one

 

Haha, one of the best tuners to deal w/for sure. So what turbo is it you're getting?

 

I'm undecided at this point. I'm looking for about 100awhp over the 35R with as little lag as possible so that I land in the sweet spot on shifts without having to take it to 10,000rpm and wear the engine out.

I was looking at the T04Z HTA 88 aka 37R but it's such a minor upgrade to the HTA35R I already have that I'll be skipping it. I think vwjeff(37R) gets 2mph over slowrice(35R) I'm waiting on some results on something else before I make a decision.

 

Sweet man, thanks for the input. My car was down for a long time, and i wanted some short route piping, i got a good deal on this setup. Mellon Do you ever make trips to Nashville? My car will be going back to Bowling Green, KY early next year and I am gonna have to get it retuned.
