Mid-pipe + Boost Control
hello all, i just was intrested in what set-up you all were running with a mid-pipe? well more intrested in what you are using to control boost!! i have a pms(purple) and i have been adjusting the wastegate setting for a while and finally got it under control to an extent. when it is cold out side like 55 dgrs. or so it still spikes all over the place. but all in all i love it! just want to know what others are doing for boost control issues.
thanx, the Rikki

I made a restrictor plate with a 2.5" hole to prevent creep, and I'm using the Home Depot bleed valves to keep the boost at 10 psi. although I'm considering turning it up a little.

How hard is it to make a restrictor plate and will the restrictor plate be a real deadend on the performance of the mid-pipe mod? I really want to do this mod but dont want to have boost creep. Would the restictor plate keep it down to 10-12 psi. I have a dp, cb greddy sp, b/c profec b. I'am hitting 10 psi and was to before the dp. Adding intake real soon and I want to had a midpipe. If I keep the psi down to stock level i really shouldnt need an upgraded ECU correct?

It's worth a shot. I just took one of the exhaust pipe gaskets and a peice of sheet metal, cut out the hole with tin snips and everything went well. Using the bleed valves my boost on the second turbo creeps up to 11 psi in 4th gear, but it seems to be working well. I'm sure their is a power loss with the plate, but it has to be less than with the main cat.
