Where would you suggest? I just have mine t'ed into the line coming off the front of the plenum, I'm assuming that is fine but would like to make sure before I get it up and running. Oh, I'm sending you a PM right now .

 

Got you back on the PM. If you are asking where you should source the pressure signal from for the UTEC, do it tee'd off the plenum. In fact you can tee it from the same line that is running to your BOV. Thats the best intake manifold pressure reading you can get on this car.

 

Cool, that's where I'm getting pressure signals for my boost gauage and my MAP sensor.

Back OT now!

 

OP, did you get a chance to check what port you had hooked up on your wastegate?

 

im not sure of this as of now, ill ask about it.

and yup im hoping 2.5 weeks, the only building i want to do is pistons and rods. other than that im just getting a better head gasket. you think 2.5 weeks is farfetched?

 

gonna need bearings might as well get better head studs too.

 

Please do

 

Sounds like you have no idea what you are doing and that you are half a$$ing everything

 

no **** i dont know what im doing, thats why im having someone else do it for me. if just getting piston and rods is half assing, i guess it is what it is, sorry i dont have the cash to drop for a complete engine rebuild right now.

 

Your so sad, you defend TN to the end. My car overboosted from the get go. 9-9.5psi regularly, 10psi in anything under 50 degrees. The guy that bought it from me with only 3000 miles installed my never installed overboost solution-if you can call it that- and his overboosted also. Its known some of these kits will overboost past what the flash is good for regardless of exhaust, overboost fix installed or not. How many people does it take for you to realize these kits arent all they are cracked up to be? Then you go and question Dave @ FT-he has seen his fair share of kits, he is not talking out of his a$$

BTW-stop asking for proof, Im still waiting on your N20 is more efficient than meth + more boost proof...

OP-good luck with everything, I wont repeat what many have said in this thread already

 

Thanks for that meaningful contribution. I already explained why you'll see higher boost in cold weather. You didn't even run the "overboost" pipe so you have no basis in your argument. Give us the details about your friend's setup that overboosted with the pipe? For all I know you broke it with your "elite driving skillz" before you sold it to him.

I'll do a full scientific experiment and report back to you, all I ask is that you fund it and buy be the nitrous and water/meth kits.

Also, what "end" are you talking about? I'm still running a single turbo without jumping on the "tt is bettah" bandwagon. You've already prank called me at Zdayz, I can only assume this may be a death threat.

 

And, for the record, my car hit 9-9.5 psi on the Fujitsubo exhaust BEFORE I installed the wastegate relocation pipe. I was the first person to report this to Turbonetics, even before the thread was started on it here. I supplied a FULL 3" exhaust for the pipe to be tested on and it exhibited no "overboost".

So really, telling me stories about pre-relocation overboost really means nothing to me.

 

You contributed nothing to the thread other than TN biased excuses as to why some kits overboost-you act like most dont, in fact most of the kits Ive seen in person do, I guess nobody can install turbo kits in MD/VA? That BS isnt needed its not helping anybody certainly not the OP. To the "end" means you just never stop with the know it all posts. Regarding Z day Z, think what you want I have never threatened you online, or in person when I met you, for you to think that is ludicrous

 

I don't "know it all", nor have I ever said I do. You must be threatened in some way since you go out of your way to argue with me. I'm seriously interested in WHY some people claim they are overboosting on the kit while others with the same setups haven't experienced it. There has to be a common factor in all of it. It certainly isn't "turbo gremlins", regardless of what some would rather believe.

As far as the OP, I think he's already got his questions answered and has decided on his course of action. No harm in talking about a related subject after the fact.

And, it is, that was a joke. Perhaps I should have added a gayface smiley...

 

Why would I be threatened by you? Your the FI drama queen, ever since your motor blew you really took a turn. But-that is neither here nor there...I'll stop hijacking the OP's thread now.

 

Drama queen? All I do is respond to the endless prodding and antagonism as demonstrated by your first post in this thread. If you didn't want to start "drama" you would have never posted or worded your post in the manner you did.

You're looking for an argument with each of those statements. You're so hell-bent on calling me out with that meth argument that you don't even know why you're arguing anymore. It's also TOTALLY off topic for this thread. If you really want proof, go make your own thread then do your own research to prove me wrong.

 

My TN kit holds ROCK SOLID now at 8.4 to 8.7psi from when full boost is achieved to redline with the Tial 38mm wastegate. Craig remember when I was posting about my weird overboost problem in 1st and 2nd gear only? It was COMPLETELY gone as soon as I dropped that Tial in.

 

I'm not sure why. The original problem made no sense to me at all. Maybe it was a bad wastegate after all?

What exhaust?

 

GReddy EVO2 modified with a 3" to two 2.5" out y-pipe.


BUT I did find a pin hole in the hose going to the wastegate just before the inlet. That may have been it, I cut that part out of the hose when installing the new w/g

 

So excuse my ignorance, but with open dump(s), is it just like running a car without and muffler or does the turbo quiet it down some. I am entertaining the idea down the road, but am concerned about how loud it will be as i have never heard a car with open dump(s).
Thanks.
