Didnt get a chance to put more then 10 miles on it. One of the banjo bolts is leaking coolant so i need to replace that and the crush washers tomorrow. The boost was set a little high and it was pulling some timing on the topend otherwise fills good, a/f is right on. More to come.

Default what was the wastegate spring set at? what kind of boost control are you running?

I think my GTRS wastegate spring is set too loose... having a hard time getting more than 12psi from it.

Default Not sure, i can get up to ~27psi from it (accidentally) with the MBC.

I have it set at ~23 to the rev limiter now. I think i am going to get the AEM Tru Boost instead of using the crappy MBC i have.

Default Everything is runnin well, changing the banjo bolt/hose on the back side of the turbo......

Is a royal PITA. It is probably the biggest PITA i have dealt with in a long time. Just finished up at 3:56am EST. I cant wait to quit driving the 86 BMW 325is and get back to driving the A4.

Default a/f is fine per , my wideband. I plan to upgrade in the future. I was running 70psi

at load last time i checked when i was having detonation problems. It wound up being the injectors reaching duty cycle.
