placing a zip tie on the 2 water lines where they come off the fittings did the trick..the coolant line no longer rest on the actuator and still no kinks in the line!

not yet, but i havent put much time into it, car is currently in the body shop getting a light makeover. i should have my car back hopefully at the end of next week..then im going to do some datalogs and find out what my afr's and g/sec im pushing with the boost controller turned off...then depending on what i see im going to start tinkering with the boost controller..also noticed my greddy profec b spec II boost controller reading is about 2 psi higher than my prosport boost gauge. im planning on entering high boost levels with caution this time..haha

sounds like a good plan

My profec was 1 psi higher than my boost guage as well - on the dyno the profec was the same as the dyno reading so thats what I go with now ....

i did find a suitable gasket. the last gasket i had trouble finding was the turbo outlet pipe, the gasket that works perfectly without any triming is a tial 38mm gasket..the remaining gaskets for the manifold/turbo, downpipe, intake are all from a t25 turbo (nissan silvia sr20det turbo)

im glad theres other options for sourcing gaskets other than greddy mainly because it takes too darn long

made a couple of "wot" runs tonight big thanks to ngo for plotting my runs! let me know what you guys think..btw: jeff (MM) & bryan (BNR) the turbo upgrade and tune kick ***... these runs are done without the boost controller turned on so it hits 5 psi and holds to redline
on my prosport electronic boost gauge



I think its time to start messing with the boost controller

Running rich so no problems to raise the boost a bit at a time .

340g/s is optimistic for 5 psi ....
