But I guess its worth a shot of the tune asjustment first, although I'd go straight to the souce: manifold
I don't understand why every manifold isn't 'wastegate priority' it's practically the most important part. If you can't properly control boost, then you just have a ticking time bomb. If you ever look at good v8 turbo setups on race cars, they are all 'wastegate priority' in the sense that there is always a very straight forward flow into the wastegate and the wastegate neck is always after the merge collector.

I'm going back and forth on that, i may end up getting it before i put the car down for winter rest at the end of the season and deal with the car as it sits right now for the time beingQuote:

Had him relocate the WG Flange to the rear of the manifold to be able to access the wastegate easier

Awesome! S366 is what my friend "bottled morphine" had on his rsx I believe. Made 800whp on it on moderate boost levels.Quote:

You know you can run an open scroll manifold on a twin scroll turbo right? You just don't see the benefits of the twin scroll :-/Quote:

Soooooooooooooooooo....
i've had the car now for almost a year since it dyno'd and ran it's first pass... since then i've been changing little things here and there... and when installing the MercRacing IAC Plate, i pulled the throttle body out and saw this unplugged port... did some googelin' it's for a B Series MAP sensor... soooooooooo this MASSIVE vacuum leak has been there since day ONE....
Plugged it... and installed the IAC Valve Plate... now i'm waiting on Tim from Turbo-Elements for my new manifold and then i can crank this SOB over and see what the idle should REALLY sound like!
LISTEN HERE GUY!!!! LOL i tell you what!!! HAHAHAHAQuote:
