With the wife down with food poisoning (Clam bake+party hard=Long Sunday) I had some free time this evening since we canceled dinner plans.
Installed AEM WB, Autometer Boost gauge, Maximum Motorsports Mechanical oil pressure gauge, and a Shift light (no tach cluster). Semi-permanent, but it will work for now. Decided to chase a boost issue. It hits 14 on the spring, rolls to 30 soon after. Obviously a bypass issue, I figured it was a sticky WG valve, or a bad diaphragm. A little trouble shooting found the China Gate has a "set screw" that I assume is uses to raise boost-well it was buried all the way down ,l restricted the gate from opening more than an inch. Took it apart-reassembled- and took it for a rip to test it out.
Holds 14psi well now. We should be Fuel pumps, and a Data port away from a base tune. I am VERY impressed with this turbo/manifold combo. Thing feels like a freaking 2.4 torque wise. Currently at 10.5to 10.8 to 1 WOT. But dyno says 350-380 whp as I drove it tonight. Car rips for untuned gate spring action!
