yeah thought it was from ATP

bought the same turbo for a customer awhile back with the same anti surge compressor housing but with the .63 exhaust housing and the anti surge realli does make a difference if ur going to be using the .63 housing

what sort of difference are we talking? I have the .63 and no surge issues. boost control, shit yes, surge, no. I do have 256/264 cams though.

-33- also has a .63 IW. He hasn't mentioned surge either, just the boost control problems

good choice of tuner too btw Gary

Yes it's a funny thing Dave, some cars have surge, some don't. Cams will definately be on the cards for the future. I'm hoping that will reduce the overlap for more timing.

Yeah, I think Yavus is great, takes a cautious attitude to tuning. Don't you just get sick and tired of tuners that shake your hand then tell you to come back in the afternoon to pick it up ? I want to be there to tell them how far to go and make sure tune for drivability, fuel economy, safety and only then power.

I've been there every time my car has been on the dyno.

I don't know that cautious is the right word, but he is certainly very careful during the initial stages of a tune making sure all the basics are covered before starting to chase power.

I can guarantee he will push you to jam some boost into it. :P

Or maybe he just does that to me because he knows i'll let him.....

And I can guarantee I'll let him jam some boost into it. BUT, 270 is what I'm after so we'll see. Buy the way, I'm thinking peak boost on this turbo would be around 22lbs. The compressor map seems to indicate 17lbs as right in the meat of the turbo's potential. What do you think ?

It'll depend on the engine really. I couldn't run more than 21psi with my old setup before valve float, others have run more.

Because of the boost control problems i haven't really been able to push mine but it was making 255-260 pretty easily on 16psi. You may need a bit more boost as you don't have cams in there.

      I've watched some vids and the technique seems to be to butt the sheets up to one another and use MIG to spot weld and slowly fill in the spots until its eventually all sealed. No runs as you would normally do, as there's too much heat generated that way. Yeah my stick welds are terrible these days because its been so long since i've done any of it. I expect to be spending many hours practicing

      I have personally seen a Tomei USA RB26 cam that didn't even fit the head. Kind of nuts to me that it was even possible for that to happen but such is life.  There's two UP Garages in the US. One is a US branch of the Japanese company which sells things they brought over at tremendous markup. The other is University Place Garage/Fairlady Motors which is a shop best known for putting VCAM in RBs and trying to convince people to stop putting in 800hp of turbo on a 2.5L motor.

      Gasless MIG is not exactly suited to what I would call "delicate" or "attractive" welding. So I would rule it out for sheet metal rust repair type stuff, unless you're only doing it in hidden places. I'm thinking about getting myself a gasless MIG for "hack together" type work. Noting that my welding experience is very very low, and quite a long time ago. So I'm also looking for "simple", but I'm not expecting "excellent". I'm not even sure that proper MIG is the best for sheet metal work. I get the feeling that the degree of control and the minimisation of heat input that you get from TIG is probably what you really want. And then you have to get good at doing it before the welds won't look like a monkey flinging a handful of shit anyway. You're probably SOL for an easy and cheap way to get from where you are to where you want to be. Much like myself.

      Any recommendations for what would be the easiest welding type to start on, for sheet metal rust repairs and maybe some exhaust piping too? Seems like MIG is the most common. Would gasless MIG be ok to learn on and do some simple jobs? I have a stick welder which has a Lift TIG setting, but i'm more interested in getting whatever's easiest to do, and most suitable, rather than using what i have.
