Remote mount turbo updates!
So I finally figured out the problems I've been having... I removed the intercooler and fixed ta few things here and there and now I'm hitting full boost in every gear. First, second, and third gears are almost useless if the tires are cold. Even if the tires are warm first is still useless and second is not much better. I'm still fully untuned, and it's hiccupping really bad at the top of the gears. A friend was driving behind me in his Jeep and said I was pouring black smoke from running so rich.
So here are the details:
10-13 P.S.I. in all gears and lag is almost eliminated. In first, boost starts to build at about 3,000 rpms and hits 10 shortly after. In second, boost will FULLY build within 500 rpms of flooring it. Third and fourth just get better and better.
I've been getting a few *** here and there asking questions about my setup and I have not been able to respond. I'm sorry for this, but I will soon have it tuned and dyno'd and the whole turbo kit will be put out here for the forum to see. I've got drag radials and new rims on the way as well as a 13" brake upgrade sitting in my back seat. The only things I want to do to the car now are a wideband setup, re-do my intake piping(air filter setup), and finish the exhaust work(turbo downpipe and add a flex pipe).
To whom it may concern:
Whoever said a remote mount turbo was a joke, come to Denver and drive my car and say that afterwards.
