Does this look correct to you guys? It's been a while since the motor was in the car lets just say that lol
I'm 99% sure the starter posts are correct but those 3 little "grounds" that are all right next to each other on the harness I can't remember where they went. I just have them on the bolt that grounds to the block.

I modified my stock dipstick slightly with a few bends, bolted to the hahn braket provided with the stage 5 kit, nice and strong and doesnt wiggle around. Call hahn and order a replacement dip stick tube bracket. Well worth the money and knowing your tube isnt sliding around.

Thanks buddy. I might move them then. I ended up grounding the big ground to one of the starter bolts but i'll prob ground it to the bell housing since thats where it's supposed to be. The little ones should be fine where they're at I would imagine

Thanks for posting up, I am running 80lb injectors and 3 inch hahn exhaust. I am looking forward to that quick response from the 20g. I am trying to get some break in miles on my built motor but right now I am working on a timing chain noise. Then we will see what I come up with.
i think i have some videos when the car was on 18psi n' up. if i can find them ill post'em up.

Ok guys I might be able to spend more on a turbo then I first thought with the PTE5531 what other turbos been a step up in performance but around the same in power would y'all suggest. New price range is about $1500. Also specific specs like .48 ar and inlet/outlet sizes and IWG or EWG.

the difference is in the wheel and design. not only are the 5558 and 5858 ball bearing vs the 5531e being journal bearing. but they both have the CEA machined wheels which outflow the 5531e cast wheel and is also lighter to help spool. there are also different covers available to help flow and prevent surge. i personally would go with the ported s cover.
the 5558 compressor is the same size as the 5531, 55mm for both, but again the difference is in the wheel material and design. and the 5531e runs a 57mm exducer turbine wheel to the 5558/5858 58mm exducer turbine wheel. even though the 5531e and 5558 are both 55mm inducer turbos. the cea wheel, and the 58mm turbine allows for the 5558 to be rated at 590hp vs the 5531e being at 520hp. and along with the change in wheel design and being ball bearing, the 5558 will spool at least the same if not a few hundred rpm sooner than the 5531e.
the 5558 and 5858 both use the same 58mm 76 trim turbine housing but the difference is solely in the compressor wheel. being a 55mm and 58mm inducer. although i'm unsure of the exducer size. i would imagine it's the same or only slightly larger on the 5858 because its rated to 620hp vs the 5558 590hp.
again both the 5558 and 5858 are available in the same a/r turbine size as well. .48 .63 and .82. but with these turbos they offer a 3" vband exit instead of the entry level turbo only offers 4 or 5 bolt. and they are both externally gated as well.

x3 on removing insulation, it added a good inch or two to the depth I had back there to work and keeps me from worrying about it burning on the exhaust or turbine housing. Unlikely to catch fire since its made from fire retardant material but cleaned up the bay a good bit.

hey guys I need some help again. My tuner and installer is convinced that the stock mass air flow on my set up has/is reaching the limits of the flow etc. He thinks I need an after market one or to increase the diameter of my charge piping to remedy this problem. To tune properly to increase my boost.
My problem is I haven't heard any of you guys running into an issue like this. Does this ring a bell to anyone, or at least make some sense? Is there any plug and play for an aftermarket mass air?
