D0W3RK Finally Turbo!, New Intercooler Options

[d0w0rkS0n]

so after a lot of wait and gathering of parts... that car is Boosted. dyno sheet will be up when i can scan it. but it did 160 to the wheels on 5lbs. had to stop before it kept going higher due to Boost creeping. :-\ but ill have pics up and dyno soon!!

feels great

thanks for all the help everyone who has given me advice and parts along the way!!

[d0w0rkS0n]

ok..posted pics. now i just need to get a copy of my dyno on the comp.

[Culpable04]

great work.

what PSI do you plan to take it ? don't tell me you did all this work for 5 PSI only.

[d0w0rkS0n]

thanks! and hell no im not just trying to stay at 5psi. lol. lookin for 12.

post a list of all the mods you did

[presure2]

looks good.
like the top mount turbo setup, curious as to why you mounted it with the compressor on the passanger side?

ThoughI would imagine for FMIC it may be a little less piping.

[d0w0rkS0n]

thats exactly why it was mounted on the compressor side. just made the piping layout easier and more accessible.

I guess this explains why you're getting boost creep at 5 psi.

looks good man keep it up!! update with dyno sheets please!!

but it creeps all the way to 12psi

[lagos]

Thats what happens on internal waste gates with free flowing exhausts.

[d0w0rkS0n]

so i either need to Bore out the whole in the wastegate more, or buy a lower spring if im not mistaken

[lagos]

no, tune it for 12psi. 5 pounds gets old quick.

[d0w0rkS0n]

i was thinkin about that, but i wasnt sure what the situation would be. if it woul still creep higher and higher.

[hurley97]

I have the same boost creep problem. I have an internally wastegated turbo with an 11psi spring (it's the smallest I could find for my turbo) and it creeps to about 15psi. I'm sure it'll creep higher than that but my MAP sensor won't let it. I plan on getting a Tial external wastegate with a 7 or 8psi spring and turn it up to 10psi. Hopefully that will help the creep issue, if not I'll be in the market for a new turbo with a bigger exhaust housing.

yea i actually just took apart my buddys old t3/t4 turbo that has the same exhaust housing as mine. im gonna take a dremel to the hole for the wastegate and open it up some more. *according to my tuner, that will help with the boost creep* but im orderin my MBC in a few. so ill get that and turn down the boost for now.
