My $100 o2 housing told me i gained the same HP too

That is a LOT of money for a downpipe



welcome to modding an X, wait until he wants cams at a G-Note.
Hater! Back in early 2004 the pricing was very similar when I was buying mods for my VIII

If Tony helps me with my FMIC install, I'll have him bring over his laptop to log my TPS but yea it went from running like complete crap one day to running perfectly normal the next day. My CEL went away right after the code was pulled and its been about 200 miles since then and it hasn't come back on yet and the car runs perfectly fine.

The turbo kit is the greddy t67 (25g) kit. its like a 4500$ kit. We took it off my friends car and the kit only had 3000miles. i paid him (got a good price) and threw it on my car. got my custom licp and new fmic. Today i went and installed my 1000cc injectors. Got it running real good. upped boost to 20 psi. still no knock. Pulled over and gave the mbc a couple more turns to get it up to 23 ish. Went WOT and there was no boost at all. im like wtf. no wierd noises or n e thing. Pull my intake pipe off and turbo won't even spin. unsure of cause at this point but i will take it out and take it apart within a week or 2.

if this is gonna cost me more than a grand or so im puttin my stock 8 parts back on and selling it and gettin a street bike. also i still live at home so with the extra time and money it would help me to move out.

if it doesn't spin, it sounds like oil starvation. did you prime it when you installed it? also, did you check for shaft play before installing? there may have been pre-existing damage.

yea as i stated the turbo was like new since it had very little miles on it. there was no shaft play at all. i ran 12 psi through it (wastegate spring pressure) for a few weeks before i finally got around to installing injectors and upping the boost. that is when it blew.

i am gonna take it out and see if it can be re-built. you think if it was just oil starved it can be re-built?
