Got the wastegate tuned in today at lunch. It holds a steady 10 psi until about 6k then it creeps up to 1 bar!
Which I think is OK because I am running so damn rich up top anyways. Well when I did a 3rd gear pull I was pulling 1 bar and it broke loose at about 95mph!! The car is a new beast. Almost like a Noz button with the overboost up top.
Why is it that most FC's get hit in that exact same spot. Exactly where Ant's get nailed..
Hey Josh, How much was an hour of dyno time at App.? I want to go back and dial in boost to accomodate the fuel i have already

Anthony, the stock 550s really max out before 10psi. If you can find a set of GSL-SE injectors, you can use them in your secondarys. That's what I'm going with. I think Josh Long has a set of 880s, but they are high impedance. You would had to do the resistor mod to run them. Well, the turbo FB is without a heart right now. I had pulled the engine. Should have my gaskets here shortly and start putting the TII together.

oh...........wow u made me feel a lot better but i was told a slightly clogged cat would cause the idle vaccum to sit arout 15 instead of the usual 19 or 10 right?

maybe, there are sooo many vacuum lines you have yet to remove so their could be a tiny crack in just several of them that could cause your vacuum to read a little low. Either way I doubt it's something you should worry bout too much. I'm pretty sure your cat is bad by now anyway. what type of exhaust do you have again? if it's full 3" rb then I think that gets rid of the cat and replaces it with a presilencer.

Rear rotor and housing and plate are saved. The front rotor and housing are trash and I can't tell about the irons..( Can't get the front bolt off with the impact I have here. Bringing home the bigdog tomorrow. It absolutley destroyed at least 1 Apex seal on the front. There are soooo many flakes of seal and chips/pices all over the place. A nice little pile came out of the exhaust manifold.
The turbo seems to have alot more play in it then a few days ago, but it was on it's way out and as long as the fins are usable I am not worrying about that now..
All this because a 2 dollar hose for the WG control split on the way to the meet Sunday...at least I got some farewell pictures I guess

It's not the cars fault. It was a rush of forced air( as much as the turbo could throw at it) when the hose split in the middle of a pull going to the meet
But , yeah the FB is coming home this weekend I was running rich but not 25+ psi rich My boost gauge(s) both maxed their readings out. One is a Greddy boost gauge, and the other is the ECU commander reading of the MAP sensor
