Set-Up Thread
I did a search but didn't find anything like this around. What is everybody running for stuff, and what are you getting out of it?
What turbo do you have?
What, if any, intercooler are you using?
What is your maximum boost?
When do you start building boost?
When do you reach full boost?
How much horsepower do you make?
What kind of ECU are you using?
What is one thing you'd do differently next time?
I know there are a lot more things that could be asked, and they would all make a big difference in the overall performace, but this seems like a general overview of a set-up. If you have something in your set-up that makes it better or worse than a similar set-up on another car, what is it?

I has hamster spinnin the turbo wheelz yo! Full boost even before i cranking.
j/k no boost here, oil hungry 1.8 motor that is getting replaced hopefully in July, along with a t3/t4 .57 trim...ebay intercooler like most others here, should see 12psi by 4K rpm I hope, 550cc RX7 injectors, standalone MS...

What turbo do you have?
Mitsubishi TD04H-15G on Greddy manifold.
What, if any, intercooler are you using?
Generic ChinaCooler (18x6x2.5) and DevilsOwn Water Injection.
What is your maximum boost?
~13 PSI.
When do you start building boost?
When I step on the throttle.
When do you reach full boost?
About two seconds after stepping on the throttle.
How much horsepower do you make?
No clue. Never been to the dyno.
What kind of ECU are you using?
Megasquirt 1 on R3.0 PCA with HiRez 10g code
What is one thing you'd do differently next time?
Not waste a year and a half screwing with piggyback engine management and do the MS right from the start.
If you have something in your set-up that makes it better or worse than a similar set-up on another car, what is it?
My shocks aren't blown. That makes my setup better than Abe's setup.
