Thanks for the suggestion Chris, I will keep that in mind when I go looking for the leak.

Guys, I just took Mine out and started to tune.



The WG can NOT hold anything below 1.00. It creeps like nuts. It will work with mine as I will tune for higher then 1.00 but it might be an issue for some.



I have a nasty exhaust leak and I cant figure out were it is from. My Vband will not seal on this DP because the DP is to thin and does not have much of an angle beveled into it, so it cant snug it up properly, but Ron hopefully will get us one that fits and seals. The exhaust pullses are way to loud from the mani and I cant figure out were the leak is, I bet it needs machining and I dont want to pull the sucker apart again but probably will have to machine it true. The turbo spools pulls very hard at 1.05 and I am pig rich so it should be the perfect setup for the street @ 18 to 20 PSI.



Glad everyone is sharing info as it helps.

I think it will work out OK. They seem to want to get the bugs worked out and any new company will have some. Customer support from them has been good.



I ordered a different spring for the WG, I thought they new I was running higher boost but it was missed. Over all it is a good kit for the price. I have had a few different ones and this is not bad at all, as I have had problems with all of them.

So you are getting a new down pipe that will seal? Where is mine? Justin, you going to be able to help me out here ?

Mine is not sealing either. You told me all this would be test fit on your car. I assume that you did mean what you said. If it was test then how come none of the hardware was there and why do I have an exhaust leak? Come on man you cant make all the promises and then pass out all the blame when you said you would see to it that it would be right. So i need a down pipe and V band that seal. I would like to get these as soon as possible.

I'm fine, I am just ******* with Justin (9BASE3)

I do want a real wastegate though. I will fix the exhaust leak myself.

Plus its funny watching Martin freak out.
