Soooo. Switched the Forge for a Hallman and changed the hoses for it as well. Taking the test pipe off and putting the hi flow back on till my Cobb Test pipe comes in next week. I doubt the controller is the problem,but it's a possibility. If this doesn't solve it, we'll be checking the hks bov next and then the wastegate. ugh

So I ordered most of the parts for my x turbo swap onto my ralliart. I just need an exhaust manifold and an actual turbo. Question is should I buy the Megan manifold over oem? Ghe megan is 200 dollars cheaper.

I think you should of tested the bov first, since bov's come with different size springs. good luck though.

There are cheaper options to be had that you can get quicker and perform just as well though. AFI/Full-Race/Shearer/ToxicFab/MAP/JMFab are ones I can think of off the top of my head that are TOP notch and probably cheaper than a one-off manifold from Virtual Works.

Let me know if you want to do one.

Dude...lol. Here's why I haven't done one yet. Before the dyno I was at 20psi tapering to 18psi,which is normal. Now at 30psi, it's dropping to 15psi with no change in mods,which leads me to believe, it's being caused by either the old forge not holding high boost or the wastegate not holding high boost. Also the hks may not be great for 30psi. I have all the replacement parts to test already to see if it solves the problem. I want to check those first,before I spend money on the materials needed for a leak test. I'll be doing a test run tomorrow to see how the Hallman works.
