Re: T-revzr's Evo
^He might not be talking about the turbo. 
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
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:

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. |

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
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
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.
