Correct; that is the proper spring for pump gas. The other is a secondary spring that can be added for those attempting to run only high-boost.

Correct, the other one is added for 25psi, thats what MAP said.
I figured you were going to stick with that one, was just curious though as I thought you were above 25, but I agree it makes sense for the 18. |

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
I run 27psig peak, but I want to make sure the WGA arm is able to have some pre-tension on it, I need some downward correction available for a 91-octane safe map, plus I don't want to combat any creep or spike issues. MAP's standard 25psig WGA has shown itself to be too stiff for my needs.

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
New MAP Turbosmart WGA installed and retuned with Cobb AP TEPHRA MODS!!! It's nice having knock CEL and 93/91 map-switching back 
Ported exhaust manifold: 411/367 @ 26psig
Short-runner exhaust manifold: 416/374 @ 26psig
Gains are gains, I'll take them! I think this really proves that my stock cams are pretty much maxed out and the bottleneck in my system at this point. Chart coming soon.

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
Before and after (MAP short-runner exhaust manifold & MAP Turbosmart WGA):
There is a noticable increase in the mid-range, that's where I'm really feeling it. Plus, the turbo seems much more responsive with this new WGA which makes sense since the WG was able to be properly tensioned, I wasn't able to run any pre-tension with the original 25psi WGA. Although spool does appear a touch slower, torque picks up a little bit quicker.
Knock CEL is setup at 3 counts (slow) and 5 counts (fast), but I've yet to see a single flash even with two pulls to 140+ so far  |

Very nice pump gas setup, Chris!

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
I was just out ripping around some more and this car is seriously the ultimate DD street car! Handling is spot on, it rips through the gears, reliability has been decent, and it drives smooth as stock.

The final mod I'm waiting on is PSI-based boost control. I know it's functional on the 2008, but not 2010 yet for some reason. |

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
The only other one I really want is NLTS, otherwise I am all good on my Tephra mods. 9 alt maps and living tuner will be cool too, but not necessary for me
Glad you finally get this stuff on Cobb though so now you get the full experience. |

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
Pretty crappy pic, but I got a new toy for the car
I picked it up from a 2008 Evo X and so far I'm really liking it! I'm in the process of getting all my CD's loaded into the internal 30GB HDD. I purchased a maps update disc from the dealership (2011, most current available) but it looks like the previous owner had already updated it to a 2010 map pack so I'm not going to bother updating for now since 1 year isn't worth $190 ($175+tax). Overall, it was a very simple plug & play installation; Sirius and Bluetooth worked right off the bat without needing any type of programming. |
