what are stages? lol
who cares about big power, small power, medium power. Isn't this site suppose to be a place to gather information, past and present to help everyone improve.
Old school, new school, what is this middle school? rofl, some people like to make more power, some people make less power, we can sit and compare all day, but who knows it could be something else more than just someones driving ability that is holding them back. We all take different routes.
Note I'm not the best driver, but for example my case, I was wondering why my car would unload and bog between shifts, with the help of Eddie, and Tom we found out my NLTS was on. I've never ran with NLTS so that is something different to me and to note was broken. Well now it is something else, but we all bounce back and move on.
I made about 460 on the DJ, roughly 390-400 on the MD. Trap speeds of 118, people with small turbos make more power than me, but ultimately my goal is to go faster, not compare pee pee sizes.
my 2 cents =]

UPDATE: So I put Harvey's upperpipe and APS bov on and turned the boost down. Just wanted to be safe. Did a 23psi pull and it felt pretty good. Turned it up to 27 and it felt great. Held all the way up,and really felt faster. Then 30psi...
...dropped like a lead fkn balloon back to 18psi. I had a feeling it wasn't gonna be this easy.
I guess I need to order an FP wastegate now? : /

And I agree with u ponce. I wouldn't sweat ur track times, you're only running like 18-20 psi haha. Once youre on the proper setup, turn he boost up on that 35 are and it's gonna be fun

Yeah, did u expect a stock Ix turbo to hold 30 psi, how much boost does it hold when you're at 27 psi. Mine spikes 28 and drops to about 21. I'm on the Ix turbo and wastegate actuator

UPDATE AGAIN: So, I just maxed out the boost controller. I must have been reading the gauge wrong. I took Harvey with me to watch the gauge. With the boost controller maxed, it hit 26psi and tapered to about 23-24 which seems normal. Never even went to 30 though. I'm gonna swap out to a stiffer spring in the controller and try again. Not gonna lie though..it moves.lol
