Did some minor work this weekend painting the trim satin black and got it on the car. It's a minor thing but does make a difference it the way it looks in helping to break up the yellow.
I've had something of a nagging problem for a while but I'm going to had to dal with it sooner than later. Due to the bad location of the wastegate on the cb hide away turbo header (on the #2 primary) it has a bit of a boost creep problem. I thought I could deal with it by setting the wastegate low to 17psi and the most it had ever got to was 25psi (which is still a lot) but I could tune for that. Well I was demonstrating to a friend at the Kelley Park show the benefits of a memory boost gauge and I saw this...
A hair over 30psi is nearly double the wastegate setting so I think it's time for a new turbo header. I've got a couple of shops to go to for this and I might bite the bullet and go for a twin scroll header while I'm at it.
