so while i was gone i have gotten the over boost problem fixed it was a bad wastegate hose i have bought a boost controller and strut brace and in about month should have enough money for the rocket chip and also i was going to florida for spring break with school band 1000$ convinced dad to not do that and he is willing to buy and have put on the ferrari ( spelling ) F50 functional bonnet vent pretty excited for that! cant wait for summer to get her out of the garage and show some new pics
-
I know exactly the feeling...I ahven't driven her for 3 weeks and haven't been on boost for a month and a half. I've just spent the last week working on her and still ahven't had the chance to drive her...it's mind-numbing. What boost controller and STB did you end up with?
-
i got them from MCCM

Hey Josh! Have you got her boosting at 10lbs now? How does she feel? Just a few lbs should make a big difference in feel. When you go chipping, don't forget have your AFR gauge already installed. Afterwards you'll realy be going for a ride. Gus.

3 weeks???? Hell, I haven't driven my baby in 3 YEARS!!! This Spring I'll be rolling her out, though.
Joshua-
PICS-PICS-PICS!! I would love to see some pictures after you get the hood installed!!

Hey Josh! Most likely an adjustment, this is where porting the waste gate opening in the manifold also comes into effect. I would strongly consider it. Gus
-
The wastegate opening, port, whatever is a part of the turbo on car with integral wastegates, the manifold has nothing to do with it.
-
Wastegate port is in the turbine housing.
underneath the little flapper door here:

Carefully grind it out, make sure the door still covers the port and leave some overlap. Dont need it leaking.

Hey Guys! In my haste to to a message across to Josh,Igoofed in my discription of what is needed. My heart is there. Gus.
-
ok so the guys cant find a replacement part to fix the actuator does anyone know what i need he cant find it unless i buy brand new turbo and dont wana do that so could anyone let me know were to get one or if anyone of you have it i will gladly buy off of you

Go junkyarding, Capris, and 323 turbos are all the same thing. ther's some sort of site somewhere that lets you search the local yards for whatever cars they have available, anyone know the url?
