Joe-c: what ecu and what kind of setup have you got?
Dragonsbreath: I wouldn't worry so much about intake/exhaust manifold leaks. Anything significant enough to affect top end horsepower would manifest itself in other very noticeable ways like a high idle or noise from the exhaust manifold. Now I know you've been hanging around those 2nd gen guys too much Our cars don't measure volume of air...we measure load
Blow off valve leaks seem to be a source of constant paranoia for many turbo owners. If your hearing a fluttering sound, the valve is too tight not too loose. A little might be ok. Too much and you're stressing the compressor.
Also, keep in mind that the turbo will build boost until the set manifold pressure is reached. If there are some leaks along the way the turbo will output that much air to compensate. 15psi=15psi It's that simple.

rx6 turbo not sure on the a/r's
550 pri 1300cc sec
power fc
if i remember i think its either a large m2 or a petit smic
im still tryin to break the motor in my friends gf is driving it for me i hope she dont **** it up. as for 10lbs of boost i just wana do a safe boost level. im deploying in september i dont wanna blow my motor cause when i get back i want to do a a-spec setup not sure wat turbo though i wanna do a drag setup but i want it to be torquey as possible.

so I see you're from no cal, I gotta a lot of friends here from the bay, as far as tuning goes you can just wait till you get your new setup. you would have to re tune if you change your setup and you would have to change out your current injector setup if you're going to a full drag application, tuning is not cheap so I would definitely just wait until you get your new setup since you're still on your break in period

yea im tryin to save up for the cj motorsports fuel rails. i have a gz lim but im savin up for the 4 injector setup i wanna run 4 1600cc sec and 550 pri. i still need to order fuel lines so i can run my aeromotive pump and i still need to buy my fjo fuel injector driver. yea i should wait to til i get my new setup but i barely started driving my car after a year of being broke. i bought the car originally from fritz flynn with 5k track miles on the motor. then after 1k of driving beaten a hand full of times the motor went and now here i am about to deploy dam it lol.

i need 1000 more miles. if its a 1500 mile break in. can anyone else vouch for all aspects? do they tune pfc. im not really tryin to go anything past 12psi max tryin to keep it conservative. til my next setup. ill probably be ready in august but we will see if i get my fuel setup and everything i might end up goin to pfs we wil see.
