Finally getting good boost.

Well, I have had the 7 down about a month doing a few things to better her. It took a month because if any of you have been checking out the weather, its been 100deg here the whole month of August. So on to it.

I acquired an Apexi N1 Evo catback from a local friend. I always was a little harsh towards single exhaust users, but I had to do something. The catback that was on the car was horrible. Previous owner had the y pipe made out of a u-bend (brick wall for flow) Also it had a few transitions that were not so good. The mufflers were kinda Greddy PE style with BUILT IN SILENCERS (read: not removable).

So that got bolted to the RB DP and silencer. Fits perfect. Pics soon.

I also bought (about 1.5 yrs ago) another S5 turbo from a forum member that was ceramic coated and had a ceramic coated manifold, freshly rebuilt. Ported the **** outta the wastegate, manifold and hotside inlet.

I am proud to say, I am finally hitting 10psi!!!

I was maybe getting 6psi before (on a good day).

My FC is so much faster now. Just thought I would share.

Pics will come soon.

Still on stock injectors and ECU? They may be close to getting maxxed out. I ran mine at 9psi and no more.
