<![CDATA[4&quot; Downpipe]]>Thx to Nick for working late and getting the downpipe done tonite, it turned out really nice. I have the GT42 on there now (temporarily), will see how that works down at Thunder Valley this weekend. 😄

Looks like you are just going to have to run 30+ psi, sorry Dave no other option. 😛

This is really odd... I put in a 7psi spring I had laying around (for a tial) and it held 7 psi rock solid. Then I used the boost controller and I could bring it up to 20psi, 24 psi, and finally 28psi and it seemed to hold pretty solid... wtf. At 28 psi it seemed to climb/creep a little at the end, but not too bad. I'll keep messing with it (and do some datalogging) to see wtf is going on.

Oh.... the car is really slow at 7psi. I wasn't sure if it was accelerating or not.

I think the WG is too small... :mad:

Oh, I thought this was pretty cool, after I got back home I turned off the car... popped the hood, got out and opened the hood and stood back a couple steps... the turbo was still spinning like crazy.
