Sux when you first OPEN it up and whoosh....... engine dies....... loss of power steering.....CRAP DID I BLOW MY ENGINE??? No, it's just a coupler that lost a worm clamp. reinstall while burning hands on Hot as FU@# engine, embarrassed cos it's on the side of the road..... Check and double check the clamps for couplers.
That turbo seems like the SR20 turb (or turd) can only push 5 PSI and could really use some ceramic ball bearings. I guess the boost bug will bite.

LOL sorry, my last project was a budget S14 KA24DET turb was from SR20, plumbing sucked. As did the T25 Turb, tho the T28 internals make for better boost while ultimately it's nice going with a T3 setup to eliminate the desire to upgrade later. Hence the boost bug, when the greddy just dont cut it anymore.
just wish the greddy could perform through redline... happily

Sweet!
Thats fantastic, I figure a turbo will drop a psi or two when "outside it's sweet spot" still though, at the point of using a T3/T4 setup, the need to replace injectors and fuel pump, plumbing and adapters, apex seals, will have the wallet and beer supply thinned in a hurry! For an extra 60 RWHP the Greddy/Cobb AP seemingly becomes a great choice! One that makes us without it cry "me too"

^just installed my blocking plate today. that UIM was kind of a bitch to take off. stupid bolts underneath the intake....I don't know how many times I dropped them trying to get them back in

actually it was running incredibly lean. i did one WOT run, and it felt good...but I was getting some datalogs for MM's calibration process for the AP...so it's not completely tuned yet.
