Well yesterday me and my friends spent a good 3 hours installing my new turbo. It took awhile but it was worth it. When we took off the old turbo, it was damaged much worse then we originally thought it was. We could not belive it was still makeing boost. So we finally have it all hooked up at 11:30 and take her for a test drive.
OMG
The turbo fully spools at just over 3000 rpms. We had the boost controller set at 10psi. I floor the car and get pretty much thrown in the back in to the seat. A stomp on the gas again and all I hear is whrrrrRRRRRRRR SPOOOCH KABOOM! O SHIT!
It spiked to 20 psi, my friends just starts laughing, telling me he forgot to attach the hose of the wastegate. (bastard ,that scared the hell out of me) reattach the hose and all is good. No more burning oil, car runs pefect (for now) Not sure how much power she is pushing, I cant milk the full potential of the turbo yet because I still have a stock fuel system and exhaust. Happy days are ahead :)
