I can get you all set in under an hour with the reversable poor mans version. If you don't like it then you can always go back to the sequential set up.
I don't know if you mechanically inclined or not but I posted the how to a few years ago for it.

Pm me your name and phone number and I will shoot you a call next week. I am flying out to Chicago for business tomorrow. I will be back next week.
I can hook you up with full non sequential parts if you want to go that route too, however it takes way more time :\ Dave can bang out the poor mans non-seq mighty quick, he did mine ages ago.

Haha. I love my folks, they took the all the parts that were messed up to the dump this morning.
And I witnessed music history last night. I saw Grandmaster Flash at Nation's, and it was amazing. I got so **** faced, I had no idea where I was at. He is a very good performer, and pretty much pioneered hip hop culture/music.

So Jon where is that dyno sheet? I thought as jazzed as you were about your new turbo you have surely posted the sheet after getting the car tuned.
I am jazzed, dunno, I guess I figured nobody wanted to see my paltry 361 hp and pig rich afr's :\
I'll scan it at work Monday, I don't have a scanner at home that works worth a damn. My fax/coppier/scanner here has some mental issues.
Just ask Ray to check my **** when you're up there.

Well you have to be both ways about it. You can't talk it up if you dont want to post the good with the bad. What's with this "pig rich afr's" What did he tune it to?
Don't be making excuses now.
I didn't come on saying I only made 430 because I have a broke motor...
It made what it made. Just post the facts and let it stand on that. I like to see any and all dyno sheets.
Anyway, what are you up to this afternoon?

So the AFR stuff is because there's an exhaust leak where the turbo meets the exhaust manifold so Ray was worried about the wideband being accurate since it's sampling behind the leak. He tuned it for 11.1 - 11.3 just to be safe since clearly neither Ray nor I really want me to blow up again.
So the facts are exhaust leak, running rich, and a bent fin on the turbo.
So I'll scan it tomorrow or maybe today if I can find working scanner.
I'm heading to the Orioles game at 1:35 then I have no idea, why are you back home or on your way? If so lemme know and maybe we can hook up. I need to get my tires this week too so I can rock the track Friday. So if you're up in my area throw em in the van, if not I'll come down at some point.

Hopefully the exhaust leak will get fixed by the guys you paid to make the downpipe free of charge.
Sorry I did not have my phone with me today. I just saw that you hit me up.

for any of you that have seen the silver FD with wide rear wheels in Hollywood MD, it NOT single turbo. I saw him leaving the base so I made sure to get next to him and see what he had underneath the hood. He told me that he had pretty much maxed out his twins with 330RWHP running rich.....
then the light turned green. almost dead even till about 105mph. He got the jump but I pulled him in a little from second to third and then fourth we were pretty much at a stand still. Just made me pretty happy because Im only making 280RWHP and have a readline of 6500!
