Poita's FA5 Turbo Build (Pic heavy)

[Spaz]

Glad to see the wrap/hose is working like mine.

Something that is bothering me and Poita (Me and another friend of ours helped him through most part of the build) is: Since he installed the lighweight flywheel, the boost seems not to hold the pressure near the redline. I mean, It starts to drop pressure when reaches above 7500 rpm. Só with the stock flywheel it could hold 14.5 PSI untill 8k rpm, now it drops to around 11 PSI. And the only difference on the setup apart from the clutch disk wich is totally non related to that, is the flywheel. Is this the normal behaviour when you use a lightweight flywheel with turbo ?

I'm not turbo'd but could you have perhaps got a boost leak? Like when you dropped the trans to do the flywheel could you have not placed a clamp on correctly or left it loose ect?

We double checked everything after this symptom. Apparently no boost leak.

I suppose it is possible that the reduced load on the motor is causing the turbo to lose boost.

mine seems to hold boost throughout though and I have an 8lb flywheel

[Poita]

So painful to mess with the WG actuator on a bottom mount manifold... I'll have to add even more preload.
Maybe it's time to change to the high boost actuator (17.8 - 19.6 psi ) ! Less lag for me and less hope for the trans.

those god damn glass trannies.... :emo:

By the way, where is the easiest place to put the FPR ?
I thought about placing where everyone puts it, but I don't have a clue how do you guys attach it there

Mount it right off the fuel rail. Easy and perfect placement
