Its not shooting flames because you upgraded the turbo before fuel. Not smart. There are no flames because you are not rich enough.

Um...well, what I do...is not THAT safe...but, I am still here typing...right?

Drill small holes in your tail pipes somwhere that is not noticable. Insert your spark pulgs... Then, run a small fuel line off your main fuel line that will only put out so much pressure...we are talking not even ONE PSI...install that just before the spark plug...run a switch to provide a closed circuit at your discretion...the longer you hold the switch the more flame shoots out...get what I am saying? There are easier ways to do it...but thats how I did it. I ran signals off of a separate battery and coil...

I got the RB Turboback, Walbro and BOV, I don't shoot massive flames like sonicrat, but I do get a nice little flame/spark, maybe 4- 6in or so

That would be correct. You should see now that I've got the turbo strapped to that beast. I can roll 3-4 footers for a good 30 seconds (my coworker thought my car caught on fire, haha)

well theres another trick. remove all your cat system and install the spark plugs in the tail pipe and hook up a coil to them and the flames should shoot but you have to remove all of your cats and only shoot flames at full open throttle.

If you want to sacrafice power, I'm sure you could rig up a way to cut spark from one rotor, and the gas should ignite when it meats the flames coming out of the other rotor.

If you want flames, you need

1. No cat
2. Plenty fuel

If you have a cat, remove it. Then upgrade your injectors to 720's. You will need an S-AFC at this point to tune it, and you need to tune it a bit rich. You will get a much decresed chance of detonation, plus those tastey flames! My guess is that your turbo is too big and you are running lean, which means no extra fuel down the exhaust pipe.
