IRP raceported engine with tension bolts, 2mm RA seals, OMP removed. Took a while but they finally got it finished. Was worth the wait. It's fed by a t04r and 850/1680's. I still have 1200 miles of break in so that's why my piping isn't hooked up.

I heard you have pistons, that sucks.
To clarify the wait - I sent IRP my engine anyway even when they were heavily busy, and I was told it would take a little time. So it's nothing wrong on their part. Thanks for a great engine!

Glad you're happy with it John, definitely post some videos of the engine idling
I'd recommend hooking up the turbo to the intercooler and just use your right foot as a 'boost controller' for breakin

ty ty everyone. I hooked my piping up and now I'm running 3psi. It sounds like an absolute monster even at part throttle. I've been scaring people on the sidewalk all day.

That look nice! Are you supposed to leave the turbo like that? I thought that might over spin that turbo since it's not pressurizing an IC/IM.
Over spooling could only happen if the turbo was extremely small. It wont over spool because the turbo isn't pressurizing the engine. Since the engine isn't receiving any boost pressure, there's not enough exhaust energy or load from the exhaust to over spool the turbine. It's just like holding revs in neutral at say 7,000 rpms. The turbo will be spinning but there isn't enough energy from the exhaust under those loads or conditions to over spool it. If that were the case then you would be making boost pressure just by holding a sustained hi rpm rev while sitting in the driveway (which wont happen with a turbo of that size on this engine). Makes since?
