Oh and i figured out why i keep blowing out my header collector gasket... turns out the shop that put it on used lock washers on 2 of the 3 bolts.... so i went and bought some more lock washers and an aluminum collector gasket... Tomorrow ill be putting it on and then i can get rid of this leak once and for all... personally i think the shop that did the work did it on purpose because the 3rd time i went back to them to fix it the guy said they could make a custom header for it for 800 and i said f--- off i can get a ZZP shorty header AND a high flow cat down pipe for half that cost, that was the last time i ever went back to that place
Oh, and this was in VA, home of the communist wealth, they dont believe in the better business buro. The laws out here really f--- the consumer

yeah i know 5psi aint ****, but that was just to see how the computer would react to the boost with a tune vice a piggy back
i didnt build the car for street racing (light to light) i built it to take my disputes to the strip, when on the strip i throw the stock hinges back on the car and throw my aluminum 17's back on the car... normal daily driving will be on 20's w/ lambo doors, i like attention and 20's and lambo doors do just that. Oh and they are not chrome by the way, they are aluminum to, just chrome plated

nonono, what i said was we didnt know how the computer would react to boost with a TUNE, trifecta tune, VICE using a piggy bag.
i did how ever use to have an AEM f/ic but i never got it to work right. found out i didnt have the resistor installed inline with the O2 sensor tap, kept sending the engine into limp mode.... then i saw the trifecta tune and took it out and waited for vince, now here i am, all tuned (for the most part)

i think that if i go back to them they will charge me to re-do it. I'm going to leave the charge piping that is from the outlet side of the intercooler to the throtle body at 3inches because its only 3 or 4 feet right there, but im going to get someone to change intercooler inlet to the turbo compressor to be the same size as the outlet of the turbo comrpessor, i think its 2 inch or 2.25 inch, cant remember
i'm not even a turbo guy and i know that.. you need to keep velocity and everything up to actually spool the turbo damn man... you really god raped on this.. why don't you send some money this way so i can finish my boost project damnit
if you wan i can throw a xcobaltx decal on my car and say u sponsored my build

nope, i ment vice. its a michigan thing meaning the same thing as "instead of"
this was already discust as well... virginia doesnt support the consumer, if i didnt point it out to begin with im pretty much screwed. VA is a common wealth, common wealths are a leagle form of communisum... and i also said that the shop that did the install dont normally carry charge piping because its a muscel car/ NA motor shop that does boosted applications every once and a while... I'm not going to wait for them to order in new charge pipping when i know there is a shop out here that keeps it in stock all the time... and i did say i was taking it to the shop that keeps the charge pipping in stock on wednesday because i have to work and work some overtime today (tuesday)...
no use in re-discussing something that we already talked about, its like beating a dead horse with a stick
I called DTP they said they used 2.5 inch pipping that came with the kit and just used more pieces the same size that came with the kit so i went out and looked at it and measured it and it is 2.5 inch, so i dont know why its not boosting past 5.22psi. DTP said they saw the same issue on a camaro they did and they have a fix for it and are going to do it on my car at no charge.... the issue is the boost/vacuum line from the waste gate to the turbo. The waste gate has a 4lb spring in it so when it sees 4psi in the compressor houseing it opens up the waste gate before the motor see's the 4psi of boost. They are going to re-run that hose to the intake manifold and the waste gate wont open until it see's 4psi in the intake manifold. They are also ordering in the proper spring to let me boost to 15psi.... but im confused about the boost controller that is on the car, shouldnt that thing regulate so that once it saw 15psi that it would let 4psi out to trigger the waste gate?
no you need to have them redo it.. if it says 2.5" piping and they used 3" they fucked up they need to eat the cost and if they don't then i'm sure you could get legal on their ass .. they fucked that **** up.. you NEED smaller piping like 06black said...

Yes that is how a boost controller works. It diverts boost away from the wastegate actuator so that your manifold sees say 15psi when the actuator only sees 4psi. It basically cuts off the flow to the actuator so you can boost higher. If you get a 15psi wastegate spring then you cant boost anything lower then 15psi, you can only go up.

i cant get any of it off anyway. the shop that welded on the 3 bolt flange made it so close to the cat that there is only room to get a crowsfeet wrench in there and no one has any standard size crowsfeet in stock, they had metric, but no standard. So this will have to wait till i can get some crowsfeet wrenches
