lookin for 9s country,
Nevada
never thought my car could be this fast
that being said it made so much power that the tranny is dead
think its just a shift fork. anyways, im having trouble with pump gas as the lowest boost i can run is 17 psi and thats too much for 91 octane. i thought of getting the softer wastegate but said screw it the car can eat 118 leaded from now on
i took it out last night and started tuning for 20 psi with 114 gas. i ended up leaving my afc knobs(old style) at -15% on the last three settings. i was still pig rich but this gave me 22-23* timing and no knock. illl run 118 in the future so i can lean it out more. the car absolutely FLEW. i figure its gotta be in the 116-118 trap range. its a whole different animal at the new power levels. ill get the tranny back together with a 4 spider diff and start looking for a 4 bolt rear. im gonna need it. threshold is about 3100 rpm and its starts pulling about 3600 rpm and its into full boost by about 4100 rpm. i can adjust the wastegate some more for better response but it was getting dark and i was excited. i raced a pack of street bikes and the only one i couldnt beat was a hayabusa. ill get him with some more tuning
the injectors were a pain in the ass as they leaked until i figured out how to make them stop. the reason they leak is that the top portion of the injector is shorter than stock so the little rubber hat that sits under the o-ring got smushed up when i tightened it down. my fix was to go to napa and buy two sets of o-rings and then in place of the hat i put the little donut o ring thingies that the injector sits in on the head on top of the injector under the orings. this makes a nice tight seal with no leaks. AGP had the turbo to me in under a week and gave me a great price on it too. i highly recommend this trim compressor wheel as it is great for higher boost race gas settings. its not as efficient (on paper) as the 50 trim on pump but real power is made on race gas (except rdrkt
) it spools quick and kicks ass on the top. im extremely happy with this setup. only things left to do is get an AFPR, 255 high pressure, 272/272 combo and a magnus intake and i should have a 450 horse street monster. ask away if you have questions.

This is the worst turbo review in the history of all turbo reviews ever posted on the Internet.
