Slightly off topic...sorry Dave

Elliot, Jeff...do you there is any advantage to using the bigger ID injectors on a MT setup?
If you want to up the boost pressure you will need bigger injectors. 4 x ID1000s should do the trick.

K cool. So flow will be taken care of with the injectors..will the walboro/BAP combination be able to keep up with the increased flow AND pressure demands?

I believe so. We never did a fuel pressure test after getting the BAP to work correctly. However I noticed the AFRs richen up after turning it up.

Dave brought me the turbo manifold today. The two vband flanges between the manifold warped really bad, and a huge leak. They were perfectly flat from the get go. We are welding it up, should see a HUGE increase in spool.

Well so far it fits with the tack welds.
I need to mate up the DownPipe and fit the turbo before the final welding. looks good so far, just didn't get to finish.

Some stupid user at work deleted a folder last night and it took me 4 F'ing hours to restore it. I hate being the backup admin. always on call FTL.

EDIT: Just for ***** Hay:

I call shenengins on Heat, and gravity bending the flanges out of true.

Did a 3rd gear pull( same as the dyno boost curve) and the car hits 8 psi by 3500~ish rpms now that the vband leak is fixed.

now consider tha fact of the greddy hit full 8 psi at 2800 rpms, and this one is a little bigger.
so a diffrence of 700 rpm
Not bad all in all.

it put down 227 whp @ 8 psi. forgot the TQ #'s. I think the wg wasn't getting the full brunt of the exhaust pressure some of the time during the runs. the bolts backed themselves out on the way home. and the WG fell off the up pipe. Doh!

During the dyno runs i don't feel the tranny was up to proper temp.
The last run 1/21 put down 250 whp @ 7.96 psi. consistently.

small update:

Tranny fluid is burnt. Time to flush and replace with better stuff.
And install the 2nd tranny cooler again.
AFR's are still rock solid at 8psi

Things go well in my neck of the woods. So well that i feel very confident that if needed she would be a great DD. Minus the cost of gas.

Now if a certain somebody [cough] Turblown [cough] would offer a Gentex LIM heat shield, all of us would benefit.
Like this one. Great for us 4 port owners. since we don't have to deal with the APV motor.

I agree, however the bank acct doesn't. Probably around tax time next year. That and a level 10 torque converter.
