Kenneth, my wastegate (springs) are 11.6 (blue/black springs); 15psi is ramped using the MAC solenoid. I haven't had a chance to log a few pulls since getting the car off of the dyno, but I'll verify that it is indeed reaching target boost.

Thomas, I'm a little bummed that the power is so low. The lag is substantial lol. I'll have to swing by your shop after work one of these days (need to toss a passenger seat back in the car first though).

 

I'm not sure when I will have it back. I haven't been keeping up with the shop. Lost a lot of interest in it as of late. I do plan to ship out the rods and head studs I got and also have the seller I bought the spare head from ship out the head this week. It's been hard to do anything during Ramadan though.

I would have thought with that large of a turbo it would have pumped out more power. Very weird since its so big.

 

I don't want to go down this road but has the car had compression test?

^Not recently. I'll perform a compression test and post the results.


Nesar, I understand. Keep me posted. Going to make a second build thread?

 

i thought for sure u was gonna make more than that but i deff understand about the cost of fuel..i was going to switch to c85 when i put my cell in but im not sure if i really wanna spend 90 for 5 gallons

 

I though that you were going to make more power too. I am glad it's up and running. Hey at least you have something to look forward to next spring. Go out and enjoy the car I am sure you miss it......I am sure you will still beat like 99% of the cars that you'll run into on the street!!!!!

 

Yeah. Definitely nice to drive the car again

 

Ah I don't if I will be making another build thread. Honestly been thinking about putting it up for sale when I get it back.

 

Don't do it!!!!!! You just haven't driven it in a while. I know what you've been through......just give it another chance!!!

 

I agree with Forcedbird; my guess is that you'll feel differently when it's back together/running well. Either way, good luck dude
