3SGTE guys - take a look and help a GTE N00b :D, I'v been working latly... Options

[doGGy]

2 days ago got a hold of this engine bay Had to install Ari intake (make ss Elbow for the Apexi filter), relocate HKS SSQW, and install Profec B specII boost controler. As i am almost total noob on 3SGTE engines, this was my first real experience working with them - and this first experience wasnt so damn good - got my all hands scratched trying to access to damn WG and had to rework some piping to place the airfilter...









Here hows everything looks now

Well, i have now few Questions what i would need to be answered:

1. On the WG there are 2 houses comming - one goes to the Compressor housing of turbo (this one i know ) Another one goes??? To VCV? Or wtf it is called, some sort of stock boost controller? Well, while installing ProfecB i disconected second house witch goes (to nowhere ) and sealed it shut, made the same thing on the second inlet on WG. Left only the house witch goes to compressor housing. Did i made this right?

2. What is the critical part of boost for the 3S stock? i read it in few places but most of the tell different amount. I set the Limiter on the boost controler to 1.2 bar. Is this right or not?

3. Does 3gen 3S engines comes with CT26 or CT20B on the Four? Cuz i got confused aint finding no writing on compressor housing witch would say what turbbo is this...

4. And the last Q - Kinda strange but this engine has the power till bout 6200 - 6400 rpm after this - its more or less just screams but you can not feel the "pull". Is this somthing wromng with the Engine it self or just normal thing for a 3SGTE

Thanks

P.S. Client asked about the IC - should we ditch this W/A setup and go with the Front mount, or should we leave this one sitting on top and go with the bigger heat exchange radiator?

yes the second hose on the wastegate goes to the stock boost controller

and id take w2a over a front mount any day.

i have the same size boost controller (regular profec b not the spec II) and if you could post/pm me instructions on mounting it there and geting it to look as clean/flush as you did id appreciate it!
