Well, my car is up and running. I dynoed today at 325whp 212 tq at 7psi. Me, being a newbie, didn't know I would need a boost controller to go above 7 psi which is what the wastegate spring is set for. Also, I need a new map sensor and he said a thermostat for about 175-180 would be beneficial too as I was running almost 200 degrees. Sooo...big numbers will be here on July 10th when I go back to the dyno. My Lovefab exhaust was sent out with too much of an angle on the midpipe which puts the center of the exhaust about 2" off the ground and is preventing me from driving it. I did do a test drive and boy is it fun. Here are some pics as this is the gallery 4months of waiting have led me to this:
Clearance b/t turbo and my hood is miniscule
On the tow truck
Ricks pulleys
BTW...engine is 9:1 CP pistons, pauter rods, Benson sleeved and full Portflow headwork. Here is my FI link: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=399880
