Lookin' good! I drove a VIII MR on E85 with a Black today. Once it finally got spooled that fucker pulled hard!

^He might not be talking about the turbo. :scared:

Turbo looks awesome, it must be nice to have some FP goodness.

I can't believe that little thing will trap 140+ all day.

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

^I wouldn't call that little, that turbo is huge!

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Goddamn FP 25psi WGA broke as we were putting the turbo assembly together :( The little nipple pretty much just fell off. Not impressed.

So we effed with the stock evo8 12psi (?) wga quite a bit and got it to fit (as a temporary measure). It seems to hold boost fine but I think getting the FP WGA on there some time will be worthwhile, since the evo8 actuator is kinda tweaked and hacked in there. Anyways, got it to hold about 25psi until he gets the double-pumper, then he can take it to shane and see what this thing will really do!

We did some before/after pulls this morning when trev showed up, then after we got the boost kinda dialed in we did some pulls for virtual dyno room:

Fuker rips :D

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Looks like fun! Shitty about the actuator, gonna send that back to fp?

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Bought the black from map. Going to have to talk to Chris Carey at map about it. Hopefully he can get fp to replace it.

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

SHit, dyno room thing looks promising.

Sorry to hear about the actuator, hope u get it done soon.

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Thank you Scheides, Matt D, Kody, and Brandon for all the help! It was alot of fun and a great learning experience for me!

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

I'll definitely do what I can for you sir, but it's ultimately FP's decision how to handle it, I can't imagine they wouldn't replace it.

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

No problem, though I don't feel like I did a whole lot, haha. :)

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Well went to Map today and showed them my wastegate. They got right on the computer to talk to FP and explained what had happened. I get my new wastegate actuator this week!

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Nice! It's always a good feeling when things fall in place like that after a set back.

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Oh no you did! Remember the red mark on my car ha ha? :)

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Yes it is! Im glad Scheides and Matt D figured out how to get the stock one to work for now!

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

:(

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Gross, period stain.
Did you guys surprise matt D. with the FP black?

Was he wearing this?:

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

lmao!

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

I don't get it.

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

Today I changed out my wga that I had got from fp. It's the 25psi wga. I had the stock one on and it worked great and i would get 430 whp all the time with vdr. Now since Ive changed it Im getting 390 whp. Same boost! What could be wrong? My tq is also down alot like 335 wtq. I checked the compression across it goes like this 170 160 175 170. Can that 160 be hurting me? Do you think my compression is fine? Any info on what I can do or what yu think is greatly appreciated!

Re: T-revzr's Evo
 

I blame VDR. It has yet to prove itself consistent and reliable in my mind. I've used it a few times and see too many discrepancies between runs.

How does your boost curve look though? Exact same throughout the entire powerband or just the same peak level?

Your compression numbers sound fine, especially considering your mileage.
