you can see it in the vid on first message up here...

just now i did some mods: cut spring by 1/3 and disconnect recirculating plumbing (was to inlet hose pre-turbo) and the result is quite fine, just a low and short fluttering at low rev/boost...

The blow off valve was probably waiting for you to hit a manly pressure like 20 or 25 psi.

Pepino

LOL, anyway a quick question: are sequential bov quicker than recirculating ones?

and some light head works...

Pepino

talking about EGT, ho that probe will work in you experience?



i was scared about drilling/tapping/welding a cast manifold so i used egr plug but it looks to me that would be too close to exhaust port...

Pepino

Good. It would overheat if you didn't.

Pepino

All is back together and idle running waiting for ID 725 injectors to come...



Edited my spark map, what do you think (93 pump gas)

Why so much timing at idle? Curious as isn't the consensus 10-14* is preferable for a stable idle?

Pepino

my 1.6 likes that, i can idle at 16 afr but not under 20/22 advance...
