if you have a tig welder i can come do it for you for free

He knows how to weld he's just being a lazy ass.

Do you still run a 2.4?

well 2gtsi on here was holding 29psi steady to redline. CB holds 30psi to redline.
Others spike mid to high 30s but still settle in the high 20s.



Let's see logs or video, otherwise I call BS. Evo guys claim the same shit, and it just isn't realistic on a 16g, even on a 2.0. Besides, boost does not always equal more power, as seen on both Jim and Hughes learned on friday.

2.0 stock internals. Time to sell me the Evo 3 and upgrade to a Holset.

I have seen dyno graphs, the one for CB are all over tooners and link forums.
I talked to Jim and he said his boost is falling off, the only other thing i can think of is the intake pipe being stock could be a restriction.

Steve i am on a 2.0L.
This turbo is going no where but to hell when i done with it, whats a holset?

I've heard of AFPR's leaking at the top by the adjustment nut. I personally put teflon on mine so I don't have to worry about it.

I used solder to fill my TB nipples, works great.

I couldn't hold more than 26psi on my previous 16g.

My tb is JB welded:) The only way to hold that kind of boost on these turbo's is to go external pretty much..
