well I got tired of basically no boost in first so I went this route...... so I did a big window job for a guy and made like almost 3K for two and a half days work ( typical week

). As I drive to bid more windows and hopefully some siding

I noticed a loud roar like someone bogging a V8 with 24" headers sticking out the hood.
I came to the conclusion that my damn wastegate fouled. It was running really weird with the motor sucking air through like 16' of charge pipe. ran awkward also. so I pulled over took my apple for lunch and shoved it in the dump pipe. Drove to the bid went home ordered stuff then waited for my goodies to arrive.
Turbonetics ceramic ball-bearing Big shaft 60-1 hi-fi turbocharger with an .82 hotside.
a massive iron-nickle porting session.
in the car....
For the new wastegate, this has a shaft that can be shimmed to preload the piston against the seat-ring. unlike the JDM one I had which was basically crap( thats what get for going 38mm). well its here in the pic.
oh I got a oil-catch can and some strut tower bars too

.
LAST UPDATE picture for now, Its cold outside!!!!!
