Here's the scoop.
Induction/Exhaust:
16g Turbo - Minimal side to side, marginal in and out, shaft play.
Stock SMIC w/ stock piping.
Stock turbo-back exhaust.
Running stock boost. Have a vacuum line from waste gate to the J-Pipe.
Vacuum @ idle = 19/20
Vacuum @ decel = 22/23
So far i've only seen the boost gauge read maybe 8psi.
Mitsubishi Metal BOV upgrade.
Fuel:
560 injectors
Rewired wally
Stock FPR is not hooked up.
Head/Engine:
Stock Rebuild - Cleaned and honed (not sure how many miles are on it)
Head has upgraded lifters and valves
New timing belt + Accessories.
The engine runs VERY smooth, idles perfect, doesn't leak anything, and i'm getting almost 30 mpg's highway.
Im looking for some input on where to start with my diagnosis.
I don't want to throw money at a FMIC setup or an exhaust without making sure she is running good, etc. Maintenance first!
