Thanks, Cody

a boost controler would be the way to go. with the mods you have(with the exception of full exhaust). its safe to drive, just dont let it boost over 10psi. and watch it close in cool weather

while you have the twins out, it would be wise to port them. or have them ported. there is a how to on wastegate porting floating around here somewhere. search a little...

i appreciate all the info this will help. it just seems difficult to determine how much to shave out, my buddy is sellin a hks fuel cut defender would that also be a wise step

btw i already have a dp and cat back installed

Don't install that.

It doesn't matter a whole lot exactly what you open the bore to, just the fact that it's larger helps a lot.

so basically i just have to bore out the exhaust side of the gate, i shouldn't use the fcd?

Yes. If you port the wastegate and set your boost level accurately there is no reason to use an FCD.

Fuel cut is there to save your engine. If you remove the fuel cut you'll run lean and blow the engine.

ok gotcha when i saw the fcd it reminded me of one of those 30+hp chips u buy off ebay for a honda lol! its a big case with a 50 cent radio shack resistor in it. Its what it reminded me of

Well if you bore it to big the flap wont close properly, their is up to a certain size that you are supposed to dremel out to.

Yes, of course. I was referring to how close you need to make your port to the flapper size.
