I would love to get my hands on one of these too!! Ultimately I would love to fit a 3076R down there with some big inlet piping

Even with my Stock GReddy WG I see consistent back to back pressures, completely agree that your WG spring is probably ready for retirement

I'll let you know the updates Scott. The WG will be fitted on sometime next week if anything.

I wish my car was running so that I could enjoy this cool weather we have in Texas now!

Man, I just had the scare of my life. I'm hauling *** over the overpass and my car sputters and dies in the worst place possible. Immediately I think I blew my engine because I own a boosted Renesis.

Well luckily for me it was just a blown pipe I manage to get it secured enough to get my *** off the highway and to a safe place where I can secure it properly and all is good

I did have a lot of oil in the charge pipe, and I think it got between the coupler and the pipe making it go loose and that is not good And I even fixed the catch can so it is not that. I may be need of a god damn turbo rebuild already.

The C-6 pipe was cut by a previous owner so there is an extra pipe section and coupler there. It typically blows off at the T-Bolt clamp, which is new. Pay no mind to the wires and vacuum caps, that is all temporary until my new tray comes back from jet Hot and then I will install the new intake setup and wiring setup.
