Talking 6 port turbo + 12 lbs. of boost = fun!!

i finally got my RTEK 1.7 in today and was able to turn the boost from stock to 12lbs. what a difference... im still very rich around 3,500 like real low 10's on the wideband and some other spots....its tuff to tune on the street...i really need a dyno to really dial it in more... im having no hiccups or problems at all except for the stock suspension which kinda keeps me form doing a hard pull in first gear...
my TPS was really out of wack causing issuses but after gettin that straightened out it runs like a champ.... this summer when the drags open up again i will see what numbers i can get...after scrounging parts from this site and getting great advice from many people and a few that really helped alot...i wanted to say thanks!!! i give you guys credit..you really know your ****...this summer im gonna remove the stock IC thats mounted up front to a better one and re-route the I.C piping...but for now....ill keep wasting gas enjoying boost
i read many numerous posts and such that its around 260-280 ish ( i think)
now to find all the bastards that thought i wouldnt finish it and show them whats up !!

thanks everyone !!

Oh James it did disappear? You sure your brother didn’t misplace it? God I would hate for you to have really lost that. That was your whole project.

Nope, it was stolen, along with an assload of other parts off my car.

Oh what the hell, my avatars been the same for 3 months, and now finally someone doesn't like the puppet scene that you can't even see anything on!? I've seen worse on PBS!

Oh well, say hello to sloth!

If you don't mind spending a little more, you can get a T4 thrown on with any combination.

just ordered me some TOKICO HP STRUTS SHOCKS off ebay tonight.... i think im gonna throw my stock rims and tires on tommorow to see what kind of fun i can have
next is the reverse lights....im told a relay will fix it since they come on once in a while when they want to..ill prob. clean up the back up light switch on the tranny to...ive been searching the manuals to see exactly where the wire is (driver side kick panel red/green wire) with no luck yet...then my blasted horn needs fixed...then everything is good for now...

My high boost lean out 2 weeeks ago was caused by a 2 year old fuel filter.
Not only is gas getting pricy, it's full of debris.

thats another option but i just changed my filter a month ago...im thinkin the sock in the tank might be clogged....
i reallly dont trust the FD fuel pump...i might get a walbro for added saftey of knowing theirs enough fuel getting to the injectors...dunno...still need that guage....
