Has your car adapted to the bigger injectors any further? when you blip the gas pedal does it hesitate at all? Idle ok? did you play with the afm at all? ... thanks!

It hasn't learned the injectors.

It does hesitate and idles rich.

I'm moving to 24lbers.

Yeah I think you may have a slight leak there chief. Also, your turbo is glowing red hot, that or its blushing that you pulled it out of a scrap heap to install during your fuh raze turbo build.

sorry I thought you were hating but I re read and see I was wrong... my bad !

its pretty impressive to take what you can find at the bone yard and harware store and what not and put together something that is functional without breaking the bank. especially without a ton of knowledge or know how. good job indeend. i can see how my last post could have sounded sarcastic, not my intention at all.

btw, you were way off on the cost estimate. i am right around $1500 on my project.

Yeah well I was being sarcastic. I hope more of you don't read this as a how to guide to turbo your car, honestly. And to say you are going to get similar results from a $1500 build compared to legitimate turbo build with some kind of tune-ability is childish. There is a reason the cliche "you live and learn" came about, that 24v swap may be closer than you think, if you don't do this shit right. More power to you though, I just hope your little panda stays off the endangered species list, roflcopter.

funny! I run toe to toe with a e36 m3 at 10psi with no tune and a motor with 220km and over 20000kms on a EBAY! turbo...I guess I'm just geting lucky though... you are right about the live and learn... If I had of messured twice and cut once I could have saved even more money...I find the above comment to be very narrow minded and degrading to the people who put there blood, sweat and tears into there builds ... thanks!
