It feels completely new because you're boosting more psi AND faster!
I kept an eye on the boost gauge and it never gets past 5psi all the way to redline.

correct, just 5psi for now until I get the megasquirt, injectors and everything else needed.

On another note, I just dropped the car off to have a downpipe, 2.5" mandrel bent exhaust with no cat made.

Should be done tomorrow but I wont have time to pick up the car until friday then its directly off to Buttonwillow. I'll let you guys know how that goes.

I actually have the 300zx wastegate. The Turbo setup actually came off Rappadan's ride and I made my own FMIC, exhaust, heat sheild, running on Supra injectors and a walbro 195lph.. I also rebuilt the turbo and everything ran great till recently. I'll have to get under the hood again and check for any leaks.. I'm not 100% sure but I've also noticed I'm running real rich at full throttle so It may be bogging me down. I've yet to wire my WBO2 to the MS and I have almost no activity from my NBO2 on the Megatune so I'm guessing I have a lazy NBO2 at the moment... Well at any rate I am very happy with the Greddy kit and can't wait to get a Boost controler and step it up a bit.

Glad you were able to adjust the Wastegate rod and got your car running beter. What RPM do you hit Full boost at now???

You may experience some boost creep after that exhaust goes in.

Is 10psi on bandaids not a good idea?



Greddy is actually pretty good ;p

get a new dp and throw away the cat.

Minor update....
holy **** the car makes a lot more power now with the downpipe, exhaust and no cat. Took it for a spin around the block before I loaded it on the trailer. Tomorrow is going to be very fun!
