aLmk's 400whp budget build

[Si Speed 317]

Right now I have an internally gated GT3076 on a tsi manifold. I'd like to possible change the turbine housing out for a t3 style and eliminate the external gate and get a different manifold now that something has come on the market

Once you have open wastegate, you'll never want to go internal again. Open dump is such an addicting sound, I can't explain it. But, a T3 manifold/hotside would definitely make you a happier camper!

Update: Car absolutely loves these 65* temps!! Too bad boost cut doesn't like it as much as I keep hitting it in 4th. Time for a log...

Same here, now I'm running out of fuel. Which leads me to your post after the next one...

Was not able to break into the 12's last night. Best run of the night was my first 1, ran 13.5 with a 2.2x 60ft. Only did 2 other runs attempting launch harder (and failing), then my friend that came with me had to go home suddenly because of some family issues and I was his ride so we left early. O well, gonna take some practice getting a hard launch down well, going to try preloading next time out. So far only 7 passes in total with the turbo setup.

Happens to the best of us, all it takes is some tweaks and practice. You'll get there no problem. Were you on street tires? (I'm assuming because of your 60' times)

Just bought a somewhat complete fuel return setup that I will complete and install sometime before spring. I see E85 in my future

Elaborate prease.
