Talking tuned my setup 5psi

it went BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA




but yeah, i tuned it up for 5 psi this morning, it feels almost as fast at 5 psi as my stock twins did at 13. Then the wastegate opens up and it makes the coolest sound ive ever heard! the gf says it sounds like a racecar, i was like DUH!

cant wait to hit 15psi on the dyno this week!

stuck it on the dyno last night, unfortunatly it was misfiring around 5500 and i couldent get a full run in, so no boost for me

I hate how quick these engines burn plugs.

On my car, I get good results running 9s for the leading and BR10EIX for the trailings... Four of the 9s also worked pretty well. If you're fouling plugs with one of the two setups I just mentioned, I'd suspect the AFR is about 9.5:1

When I heard the WG open on mine for the first time i smiled so big the corners of my mouth met at the back of my head...It's really great..

I am running the Gt35r and steve was tuning to 17psi but we have to leave it at 15 because of ignition breakup...I'm still running the stock ignition...Figure will have to upgrade that before I go any higher...What's your ignition setup?

my wastegate vents to atmosphere and its just way to obnoxious....the only time i enjoyed it was when i kicked it down next to a whole pack of parking ricers....everyone of them nearly **** themselves.

Hey man.... Just interested to know, you said the power from the tuned 5-7psi feels the same as 13psi on the factory twins...... Is the car far less responsive???? i would expect it should be...but not sure... whats the situation..
