Car stays so cool.... sometimes only 2 bars on the dash. I'll do some datalogging and get some intake temps once my hoodpins come in and I get that back on.
On a side note, I'm contemplating ripping out the hondata and switching to haltech to go with a local tuner. Remote tuning is starting to aggrivate me. As awesome as Kenny is... it's just not the same if he's not present with the car.

Nice to see it done! Which precision turbo were you running by the way? What kind of mac valve are you using?

What did the wastegate do? I recently had to replace a tial gate because the diaphragm had been getting caught at high boost. I ended up going with a turbosmart instead

Running a 6266 gen 2. When I took the wastegates apart to ceramic coat, I didn't use locktite when I put them back together. So the the screws in the bottom wiggled loose and was letting pressure out of the back of the cap. It was either that or the way I had the lines ran one of the hoses might of been kinked. Spiking boost pressure and not being able to control with boost noid. Running a 4 port hondata by the way if thats what you mean by mac.
I will more than likely replace my wastegates soon as I noticed the diaphrams starting to fall apart as well in the tials.

I'm a huge fan of the Turbosmart gates after working with them new for a few reasons;
The Vband clamps hold the nuts for you! You don't have to hold the clamp and the gate and the nut like an idiot trying to get it put together. Makes it a lot easier to assemble
The gate is physically smaller

The worst part is that it takes 1/16th NPT fittings so you have to get shitty pushlock fittings that melt, or you have to get 1/16th NPT to AN adapter.

What was the ramp rate on the dyno?

That's awesome, hopefully they aren't too small that my dump tubes would run into my down pipe. I will definitely look into them though. I will probably save the changes for next winter and hopefully just enjoy the car for the summer. Guess time will tell if they are gonna hold up for a bit.

Ramp rate on dyno... I wanna say around 10% but truthfully I have no idea. I'm still trying to wrap my head around all this tuning stuff. It interests me but I dont learn well by reading lol.
