Been following your thread for some time now. I'm currently in the process of doing a custom 16g setup. I've gather alot of the parts. Now I'm trying to get a Forge Wastegate Actuator and some oil lines.

You need part numbers for the actuator and the spring you need? I will check tomorrow, but I know last I checked, Forge was even on back order. I'll see if I can find out something.

i tuned my car a little bit tongiht and wow. haha i had to retard timing a lot. only got to try 1 new map but it smoothed stuff out. ill be doing more tuning tomrrow night.
it was werid cuz im getting knock at rich afr. its reading 9.8 which it may even be lower but i think is the lowest it goes so im really rich. so wut im doing is turning up the turbo to even it out and then see how much knock i have and go from there. im going to try and get my afrs around 11

If he's getting knock already though he can't take out any fuel without increasing the risk of blowing his motor. There are two ways to solve knock, run a richer mixture or retard the timing. It looks like he's done both but is still getting knock. Something isn't right and if you don't solve if you could be buying a new motor.
