i should have something to update tomorrow as long as the weather improves.  finishing swapping out the turbo, adding coolant lines to the turbo as well.

and like danny said, busy doing real work..

Great to know! I'll wait for details about it next weeks in your thread

so i got my new turbo installed finally and am now running 12psi.  this thing is really fun now.  it would blow the doors off an e46 m3, or even an e30 with an s50 swap.  

the original turbo i first had on this thing was a used gt2871r i had hanging around that was apparetnly on its last leg because it only lasted about one tank of gas.  I put on a brand new one and we are back in business.  i am seeing full boost at about 3500 rpms and it seems super happy all the way to redline.  

i'll post up a video this week and dyno stuff too soon after.

If you dont mind can you post or pm me what you have your timing set up at just so i can have somthing for referance. i think mines somwhere around 22-26deg under boost cant remember exactly

im running alot less than that.  at about 10 psi im running from about 16 at about 3500 to about 21 at redline.  thats stock cr.  dont have the map on this computer so just a guess.

i believe you have 8:5 cr so you're probably on the right track with what you're using.

was just about to do a video tomorrow when i got to the shop, but got pulled over today on my way to church.  turns out my liscence was suspended like 6 months ago for a ticket i completely forgot about.  never got the notice in the mail so i forgot about it.  almost got the car impounded but the cop had pitty on me because he said i looked like a good guy on my way to church with my daughter in the car and what not so he just followed me home and made sure i parked the car.  oh ya, and he gave me a fix-it ticket for modified exhaust. haha

probably gonna have to just keep the low pro and drive my truck till i can get my liscence ish sorted out.  i might have one of by buddies drive or something so we can film something with it.  i guess i'll have to do that to appease the masses.
