Results so far:

10 PSI 334RWHP / 400RWTQ

Clutch was slipping

12 PSI 349RWHP / 424RWTQ

Spun the clutch on the first attempt at 446 lbs ft.
Second attempt noted above I nursed the car to mid 3K before gliding into WOT

I'm not a tuner yet, but I'm getting there. I need to work on ECU aspects beyond the MTF to get the idle and idle A/F sorted out and just haven't got around to it. I'm not going to bother now until the new injectors, BAP and MAF.ia are in. I'm stuck where I am clutch or not. On the 12 PSI run the pump was at 98% DC, the FP jumped to 60 PSI with no correction and I pegged the MAF at 5197 RPM.

Oh, and there is almost 9K miles on that China turbo from 7-15 PSI

Turbo location and incoming exhaust : Y pipe off of CATS - yes, it could be 50 state legal.



Wastegate location :



Old intake pipe : New intake pipe - I was running into the failed MAF table by 3K in any gear under spirited load so this was the solution.



This is what you see when you look in the engine bay : Don't see anything special here right? - well maybe if we move some stuff...




Thanks for looking. Questions, observations, suggestions all welcome.

your still running stock headers? just made a merge pipe then ran a pipe to put the turbo up in the engine bay?
