So I got my new downpipe made up and everything looks great.
Ofcorse my LC-1 takes a crap right after I get the new turbo on, its giving me some connection error so I'll have to go thru everything and what I fucked up.
First impression: Lag, not lots but I've never experienced it before, I kinda like it as the rush of power at 4k is ******* sick! It still builds about 7psi at 3k and hits 14 somewhere around 4k I belive, I only took it for a quick spin late last night.
It makes a **** ton of heat. I don't know why but this turbo heats up my engine bay fast at idle, and just overall it rus hotter for sure. AFR's aren''t great right now so thats likely not helping at all either.
Sound: THe exhaust sounds way nicer, I can''t explain it but I'll get some video soon and so ya.
More info to follow once I pla wit it alittle more, and fix my LC-1.

Tim, I was running a t25 .48/.48 off a 300x TT. Very small but instant boost.
Jay, I am still running on 370cc injectors and emanage blue (trying to sell in favour of a pnp ms)
Well I dont know what happened but my wideband is fucked.
At first it wouldn't recalibrate and was giving me a 'no real time data' bullshit error. Then with the car off I got it recalibrated but when I started the car it gave me the same message. Now it doesn''t even turn on(led doesn't light up) Has power and grounds are good so I don't know whats wrong.
Turned the boost down to 7psi for the time being, still quick but not the same as 14psi :(

If your interested I have basically everything from my old set-up for sale, RC 370cc w/clips, emb w/pnp ecu, msd 2bar map sensor, t25 48/48 a/r, Stainless steel 3in dp w/02 boss. All for pretty cheap.
Off the line? No draggin here just road racing which this turbo is better suited for.

2> Heat? Cut a hole in your hood, run a big radiator, call it a day.

I do have a GS rad and aftermarket fan, and like I said I turned the boost down to 7 for the time being. Managed to get one run with the wideband right after install and it was 10:1 at 14psi in the top end.
At idle it was feeling hot which is 15:1 afr, prolly why eh lol.
