hey guys I would like to start off saying I like the forum site and i find it very interesting and helpful. Let me give you a little background of myself and my DSM.
In case you were wondering about my name yes I am a Honda owner and new to the DSM world (and boost world) yes I like Hondas i think there very practical and all around good cars....but their hard to make power with and parts are somewhat expensive and hard to find. I love the DSMs i think there great looking cars with lots of parts and lots of potential! Heres where i stand at the moment

-Just bought a 95 GST cheap (has a few issues) no biggie (so i thought)
-Plugged up K&N filter ran like crap (fixed) with new plugs runs waaaay better now
-Bad hub Assembly (fixed) was a nightmare... but six hours later got it done goes down the road nice now

Now i still have some issues left... 1. the turbo (makes a humming noise at full boost) 2. the aftermarket BOV (blitz) I did do some of research and I think im going to get a turbo rebuild kit and get that bearing fixed (is hard to do?) Im pretty sure thats whats making the noise ?
Also I noticed the BOV is just venting out in under the hood area and im pretty sure that why i still have some stalling issues? Suggestions for my setup? (see pic)
Finally last night on my way back home My after market Glowy gauges started blinking; on off on off (yes very ricer i know) but what concerns me is the blinking is accompanied by a very faint beeping like a check engine light? any thoughts on that?

My short term goals for my DSM is fix some of the small stuff and just drive it for a while im not looking to build it up right now....maybe next year boost controller and ECU for some small tuning get up around the 250hp range ?
If i still have the car down the road I would like to get the GSX setup (AWD) and start making like 300hp range. this is my very first post be gental :D

if your going to change turbos i would think about eaither a 14b or better yet for 16g but you would need a j pipe and all that stuff. better yet a t28 would be direct bolt on to what you have and is about the same size as the 16g it may flow a tad better if memory servers me right.
 
That's a BLITZ Supersound BOV. I have the same one. It's quite loud. It's odd. I've never had a problem venting BOV to atmosphere. Mine has been that way for a decade. Not sure why the majority have problems with it and the minority doesn't. I like it. It was expensive. I think over $250 ten years ago.
 
Since everything else has been covered for the most part. Your power issue sounds like a bad ground or they didn't splice into a good constant power source like the cigarette lighter. A lot of people splice into the dimmer and have issues. He could have spliced into a lot of the wrong areas. You should pull the gauge and check or even redo the electrial.

I can't totally tell by the picture because its so dark but your battery ground looks a but off. Id check that for corrosion and to make sure everything is tight. Some of the crimped connectors don't like to work if stacked in line because the female ends push against each other and don't allow for a proper connection.
 
I don't see how its going leak its air tight..but if it does then ill just tighten it up ....besides its not forever im sure ill have to change things up when I get a real inner cooler

inter-cooler. sorry it was eating me alive if i didnt say it.
