More updates.

 

Rear housing swapped to 1.21. A few boost leaks fixed around the plazmaclamps.

 

Apparently it hasn't lost much down low at all. It hits 19psi by 3000rpm. And then hits 610rwkw. 25psi bleeding down to 21psi up top. New boost control solenoid going in to see if it can hold boost up higher.

 

I know I owe graphs, will get them when I pick the car up.

The fact that it's topping out at 21psi on both housings means is probably not a back pressure issue.

 

Will be interesting to see where it ends up with better boost control.

There are still a couple of minor boost leaks they're sorting out. Who'd have thought plazmaclamps would have issues?

 

I'd say the turbine itself is struggling, but maybe a better boost controller will help it hold. 

 

Either way, it is exactly where I want it. Didn't expect it to go over 600

I've taken my stock crank well past 600kw and regularly ran it to 7k. Only after hitting 7500+ I had the oil pump issue.

 

I would breathe easy mate and just avoid drive train shocks. Better to load up the drive train, then let it rip, rather than stomp it out of nowhere.

 

Yours will be solid for ages :declare:
