Last year at BOTI, my 1G stock crushed BOV wasn't holding boost above 23lbs. So to get it to hold more boost I re-crushed crush bov more. It held 27-28. It's been holding boost well, BUT recently I checked my turbo and she has more shaft play in her than a NY call girl!!!
I recently installed a full exhaust and now I can hear whats going on. The turbo surges. The BOV got crushed so much that the boost is back washing out the compressor housing. My BB 3065 dosent like it. Yesterday I wiggled the shaft and it made clunking noises = not good
I've been working towards hitting 500awhp on pump gas. I was already planning on upgrading my exhaust manifold, and getting a bigger o2 housing this year. Now that I have to include a replacement turbo, it changes alot of options. I did some math and here what I came up with
FP Race Mani + 3065 CHRA + HTA Comp Cover + FP 3" recirculated o2 housing = 23hun
FP Race Mani + DSM FP88HTA + FP 3" recirculated o2 housing = 27hun
HKS T4 Mani + Divided T4 DBB 35R or 37R + Custom recirculated o2 housing = 26hun
After seeing the cost it looks like I'm heading towards option 3.
I've already got a HKS T4 mani lined up, and next is to order a turbo once I decide which one. 500awhp on pump gas92, and 650awhp on race gas would be Ideal. OH and a proper BOV so that I don't kill this next turbo. Probably Tial
Going from bolt-on mitsu, to T4 is a big step (from what I hear). Should be fun
