the boost was set on 14psi as my engine is still internally standard, and didnt want to risk blowing it up after waiting 7 months from a previous workshop, which im not going into. As for how it feels on the road compared to previously, is chalk and cheese. Now it pulls way harder, accelerates way faster, and im happy with the result. Also another thing to take into consideration is we are dealing with a 13yr old engine. Im happy that the thing is still going.
majority of cost that i have spent went into labour, fixing shit up, dyno time and the manufacture of a new manifold.
The option originally for me before i started was to purchase a plazmaman plenum, 6boost manifold. But then knowing there was a workshop not far away that could do both, plus making the dump, turbo pipe, intercooler pipes and purchase of oil/water lines made sense to go there.
That didn't go as planned, and then I went to Signature Performance, which Mick had a fun time fixing it all up for me.
Im just glad yes the car is running and to me, and friends that have witnessed it, goes great. Yes on paper it is only an extra 20hp then previously, but it feels a way lot more then that on the road.
The AFR's and ignition timing i wouldnt have a clue on, but I was under the impression that 12.1- 12.5 was good.
I guess a way to prove how the car moves is taking the car down the quarter, which wont be too far away.
thankyou for ya feedback dangerman4, and i will seek some info on my AFR's. air temps, and ignition timing etc.
