took her out tuning under boost last night.
We had the wastegate rod disconnected, so there was basically a large hole in my exhaust. With that in mind, the stock turbo put out 20 lbs!!
I couldnt believe it. I am gonna have to get a large wastegate on that thing to control boost. Anything over 12lbs probobly isn't adding power due to the amount of heat blowing through that turbine.
Car ran fine though. All gears feel good. I need to get the clutch hydraulics replaced so shifting is a little smoother.
The new rear coil-overs and larger tires make a huge difference. I know I was going fast, but it feels easy to handle. It didn't feel as fast as it was. (make sense?!)
Water temp- solid 190
EGT- 900-1400. usually around 1150
intake temps- 140-ish. A little high, intake still needs to be placed outside engine bay
