Hey Paul, let me know what weekends youre thinking. Id love to be around for it before you take off.
BoostQueen, the WGA probably isnt the issue. Youre only boosting the stock wastegate spring pressure. The BOV from the 9 is what Paul was talking about. The 8's dont like to hold boost as well as the 9's do. A boost leak, including the bov, can blead off a lot of boost pressure but would likely need to be pretty large to fall to 12, depending on what boost youre actually set at. Its not likely the stock boost settings on the ecu were ever tampered with because they wouldnt function with a MBC but its possible. Im assuming the stock solenoid was plugged back in? Could be a fualty solenoid too.
Regardless of parts you decide to put back on, it should get a retune anyway. Paul should be able to take care of you. If you need help after he heads over seas let me know. Id be happy to help, too.

Hey guys, pardon the somewhat random post... but do any of you around the Cincinnati area have a stock upper intercooler pipe coupler laying around? I'm needing the one that is almost completly covered by the airbox. If you happen to have one that is just sitting collecting dust, please send me a PM to work out a deal.
Thanks in advanced for the help!

Also my car is showing a P0135 engine code. Do I need the o2 heater sensor or can I bypass it?

Everyone....
How does the 24th or 25th of July look for a good day for a meet?
As for a time....I was thinking some time after noon. It would be great if Mark (or anyone else for that matter) can plan us a little cruise through some spirited roads.
The lot on the east side of Hooters is a great location for us to meet as it is rarely used and there is tons of space.
It would be cool to get the Subie guys there too ? ?

I am sure I have more than one. You are referring to the "L" shaped one that connect to the TB correct? Just give me a call this weekend and you can swing by and get it. 513 498 3055

Stock Actuator and just a mbc. If the sale of the car falls through I will be switching to ECU controlled boost. Its dropping to about 22psi @ 7500rpm. Car is pretty nasty for pump gas I am happy with it.

Should be real fun if I crank up the boost and toss some e85 in it!
I don't have to sell it just put up a feeler thread that had a ton of interest. I want to keep it but after picking up the FD I feel like the car payment and lack of garage space is kinda stupid haha
