At what RPM do you reach 16psi? Your setup looks really nice by the way. What kind of turbo is yours comparable to?

I've been running no AST since I've owned the car, never had any problems. That looks GT-40.

I haven't had the AST for 4 years, that **** sucks ***!!!
the FPR has a fitting for it
don't know the exact size of the turbo but it spools up pretty fast for how big it is

its not too bad, I get it at about 4 to 4.5k its pretty heavily ported and I need to go back to the dyno because its still running really rich but the horsepower numbers are there. It did 425 with 10.8AF so I can still get some more out of it.

I'm not really shooting for anything, I just want my car to run right without my having to replace the plugs after a couple of pulls. I can't wait to retune this thing on Thursday. I'm not into racing in the streets anymore since I've already done two stints in jail for that and the last one was for 12 days. Now I've heard people going to jail for 30 days so I'm not really going to push my luck any longer.

Thanks for the answers. Sounds like a great setup! Smart move not racing on the streets anymore. I've had one too many close calls myself, that's why I don't do it anymore.
