  1. I didnt put a gasket in? though in hindsight I should have used a sealant.
  2. I just put mine back together and im worrying about the same issue but seeing as ford didnt do one I just cleaned up the surfaces and put it on. I took mine off for wastegate port and now the spooling sounds louder? so im not real sure if its due to the mod or if its leaking from manifold to turbo. anyone else noticed changes in sound after wastegate mod?
  3. well honestly I dont know how he got a power figure, everytime I booted it, it bounced. so il be driving granny styles indefinatly. so I dont know, im very worried which direction il take with it as I dont really have the money for it. maybe il just take it somewhere else and get it de-tuned so its running lower boost. looking into my options :(
  4. damn. what boost levels are safe to run without porting? when I got it tuned he said its all good I just need to do the valve springs. since then I have discovered im missing a load of mods that I should have done.
  5. hey guys, having a bit of an issue that I could use some insight on, stressing me out hardcore. ive had a bit of a read around the forum and ive found a few answers. I have a ba xr6t auto with, plazmaman cold side piping, under battery intake and process west intercooler, 4' dump, 3.5' cat, twin 2.5' pipes, 60lb injectors and have had it tuned in syd. I have nizpro valve spring that il be installing real soon. it made 320kw @15psi and while it valve bounces a bit atm (only under WOT), under moderate to heavy loads ive noticed it spikes boost. gauge goes upto 20psi so its probably spiking higher than that. I figured the culprit would be the wastegate actuator and after reading around abit have found they are quite flimsy and I should upgrade this. what actuators is everyone using and whats working? im leaning towards buying a 12psi actuator. (anyone bought turbo smart?) will I need a retune after this is installed? (I really hope not) do I NEED to do the flapper mod as well or is it reccommended? I will contact my tuner when I get some parts and cash together but just seeing if anyone can offer any advise as I have too many cars and not enough money and this is a real bummer as I havent been able to feel any power this car has practically since ive owned it. plus I dont want it to throw a leg out of course.
  6. oh ok is 35 too much and hit on the inside? sorry trying to wrap my head around it :S scatterbrains fitment is pretty ideal but would +27 offset be a flat face for grids? really want that concave look
  7. oh ok, well I was planning on minimal guard work, so if you had to do guard work for +12, say his 18x9.5 +35 on his rears would fit on the fronts with less hassles? in a perfect world none? pics of your fitment Scar92?
  8. can you get that aggresive look that the rears have on nelsonians car, on the front without fitment hassles?
