well i got it done at 4am last night and got a video today... boost is steady now. and i benefited greatly from the vent to air 38mm... you will notice in the video the car is very quite and has a cat, resonator, muffler all 3in but its quite till i romp on it. which i love so much for DD.

for those curious its a 38mm 8psi v-band clamp tial replica, and excepts tial springs and rebuild kits


hope you enjoy... sorry for the shitty film as i was driving and holding camera.

also you will notice by the afr i am going conservative for DD and timing is at 14-16 @ wot (for this tune)

and in all honesty i don't really feel comfortable driving it on high boost and making a video myself, sorry. i need a passenger

why new post?

 

i like it...this is something i need to do aswell....at full boost my guage is vibrating all over 11psi not holding steady at all

 

x2 saw that also

 

new post because that was a video, which people with 2.0 lsj may not find. and all my update threads to my turbo build and outcome go in here.... so just cause there is a video attached doesent mean it belongs in pic/vid... ya dig...lol

also i put it in pic/vid for lnf, 2.2, 2.4 guys who are curious about turbo set-ups

now my question for you guys is why ya busting my ***** over it?

you on wastegate spring or mbc? what turbo?

 

You know im still jealous bro, glad to see you have a great setup running properly though .

and im selling the mbc used in the video. 45 shipped same as this one below

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BLOX-...1%7C240%3A1318

 

im using the internal wastegate...no mbc on a gt28 turbo

 

Nice video..looks like Ray Charles weld'd that manifold...

 

i garentee that **** will never crack or come off and thats what matters to me. and the only reason its stacked up so high is that there was a small gap and i was getting tired of grinding and fitting... so we just went with it. the inside which i forgot to take shots of is very smooth and free flowing

 

Man, you need a dump pipe.

 

he has one installed already

 

well i have that mbc in the pic for sale... i would go with a external like i linked you to and run a 6 or 8 psi spring with a mbc on top of that to achive desired boost... and i like being able to turn it down as low as 8 psi for just cruising or letting somone else drive or something

 

well i have a mbc already but i pulled it out cuz its only made to handle above 16psi...and i really cant push that much yet cuz of my plastic manifold...ill be changing that out soon. as soon as i get a saab 9-3 manifold and then...im going to be shooting for 18-22psi...wut wut...lol

and im the only one that drives the car unless i have been drinking then the wif drives it..and she love the boost...lol

hungry what did you do with the flapper?
weld it or just disconnect it?

 

ok per hahn, the correct way is to drill and tap a hole on the oposite side of the flapper and install a small bolt like 8mm or 1/4 x 20 and a jam nut and your gonna run it in till it holds tension on the flapper holding it shut the tighten the jam nut...


but yeah it was getting late so i welded the arm that protrudes from the turbo housing with a small tac weld that can be removed anytime for regular use again... i didnt really wanna put a hole in the turbo.

also remember if welding, dont weld the actual flapper shut weld the arm so it is reversible, Ya Dig!


i left my acuator installed but have no boost source attached anymore.

 

I just went VTA open dump... It got me a ticket in a week and a half.

 

i could def see that happining... im being careful, and mostly only boosting at night now
