Re: Turbo checklist for next month
grrr...what's the easiest way to get to the oil pressure sender? I tee'd off that for my oil pressure gauge and the line to the turbo and SOMEWHERE in that mess is where my oil leak is...... it runs but I have a pile of oil under my car and general area is where it's coming from....

Re: Turbo checklist for next month
Okay, so the update is as follows...
Wednesday... got my downpipe on and wideband installed... Thursday... finished minor things, moved hose tees, fixed vac leak double checked stuff... Friday... TUNED... yes... that's right... TUNED... as in like.. my car can run and not be at risk of knocking and stuff.... knock is like .11 of a degree, yay!!!! afr is 11.9-12.1 @ 8lbs of boost and 11.1 idling changed my shift firmness changed shiftpoints to: (WOT) 1>2 = 6300 rpm, 45mph 2>3 = 6000 rpm, 73mph ... and i forget what it is going down... changed speed limiter to 140 changed rev limiter to 6500 ______________________________ only real problems we had was where I took the restrictor off.. and it wasn't spraying to the turbo well enough, so it was smoking a little bit. I put the restrictor back on and it runs perfect... then I had these cheap ass couplers on and they kept blowing off under boost... so I had to trip it up to get some "good" couplers... auto zone specials, lol. and now I'm fine under max boost... which is 8psi..... we still need another tuning session to smooth things over, but besides just some minor altering I should be good... if you have the means, I highly recommending doing this... I don't know what I love more... the spooling/blow off.... or the amazing pull I get.... I LOVE BOOST... TGFT (thank god for TURBOOOOOOO)

Re: Turbo checklist for next month
Put that turd on a dyno asap. That will be where you find out how good the new pipe connections are working. The other time is when they heat up real bad. If you do get to have a problem with them in the future you may want to attach a small ring of rubber about an inch wide and not too thick around each section of pipeing then put the connection back together. It will be a better/slightly tighter fit and thanks to the rubber it wont let the connections slip off as easy since its not just smooth shiny metal.
