Hey, it let me post finally!

Re: New to the site, not to DSM's
 

From the looks of your sig, looks like you need a turbo upgrade. Welcome to the site btw.

Welcome! Got any pics of that ride?

Re: New to the site, not to DSM's
 

I couldn't agree with you more. I'm planning on buying a different car sometime in the next year. Since my car really isn't worth selling, I'm going to add a bigger turbo and SMIM and make it a track/fun car. The ultimate goal will be 450hp on 93 octane. I've seen it done on cars with similar setups but with bigger turbos (obviously).

I know Dre made 500hp on a similar setup to mine but I have no plans of pushing this turbo that far.

Thanks. No, I don't have any pictures of my car. It looks stock except for a 2gb talon bumper, gunmetal rims and a FMIC.

Bring that thing to our dyno day on sunday! Any idea what it puts down?

Re: New to the site, not to DSM's
 

I was thinking about it but I have some things I need to iron out. After the methanol injection went in I cranked up the boost. The increased pressure created a massive boost leak at the wastegate actuator which is causing all sorts of problems. Luckily I was able to hunt down a replacement diaphram from AGP. Hopefully it will come in the mail soon.

Also, I can't seem to get DSMlink to connect to the ECU. Does anyone sell the DSMlink -> OBDII connections locally? I suspect the cable I have is bad (it has caused problems in the past). Right now I'm on the burned settings which are WAY different from what I am running now.

Also, my birthday is on the dyno day... I'm going to be way to hung over (nothing new for a sunday I guess).

I will be dynoing in the next few weeks but I would like to spend a little more time between pulls to make changes. I haven't decided on where to dyno yet.

Hey, I believe I talked to you once at my work, a Mobil in St. Anthony. I asked if you were on Style, and told ya how nice your car was ;)

Re: New to the site, not to DSM's
 

Wow thats amazing that you picked me off. I live about 2 miles away from there. You have the 20g powered 1g right? I think I was talking to you about the 2.4 swap I was about to do.

I registered to this forum because I was tired of running into people that asked if I was on the local DSM forum. Even STR4 guys were asking me.

Don't be a pussy, it's gonna be a blast, plus we're giving away free schwag!

Re: New to the site, not to DSM's
 

Schwag equals crappy weed in my book. I'm confused what you are talking about. I'm also still a little drunk from Moose Country's birthday night.

I'd rather spend a little more time at the dyno. $60 for 3 pulls is a great deal though.

Re: New to the site, not to DSM's
 

I'm open to input on what turbo I should eventually get. JET shot down my idea for a 60-1 compressor but I don't think he knows of my intentions.

Re: New to the site, not to DSM's
 

Welcome to the board.
True, but while that was pump gas power, it wasnt street/daily driven power. Some people fail to see the difference. Its cheaper and easier to run race gas at all times than it is to swap plugs after every pull.
