agreed - easy to find the limit of your system this way as well . As boost climbs the differential climbs - at some point (somewhere around 330g/s on my setup) it really starts to make a big difference . That's when you know that the system is maxing out .
Also good for seeing part throttle issues and if your BC is influencing throttle response .

That is how I did it.

Really up to you, though. You can just Tee off the signal at the UIM for both and use it as a check/double check. It's nice to have one at the turbo for me because I did lots of testing with it and my boost controller. Helps to see if you have boosting problems and if its because of the wastegate actuator.

kit looks good, nice to of had someone ceramic coat the manifold and down pipe already

Yeah I have not decided whether to do the piping yet or not. Did you guys just use a universal turbo blanket or something specific to the Greddy?

Chris

im doing my pipes satin black. already have all the coating.

Geesh, I guess I will have to do lime green then.

it will be a while.

Chris

iTrader: (10)

no way dude, do that mag blue color you posted the other day, that would look hawt on the VR

So Greddy won't sell the gaskets for the kit I have to get it from a dealer. I bet the markup is going to suck.

That's a thought.

Chris

you can find some at www.turbofittings.com, they wont have the manifold gasket though.

found this exhaust outlet

They have stuff for the Greddy?

Chris

iTrader: (10)

they have standard gaskets. I dont know what you are missing

9krpmrx8

iTrader: (46)

Compressor/turbine inlet/outlet mainly but I'd like to replace them all if I can.

shadycrew31

iTrader: (6)

They don't include these with the cost of the rebuild? I would assume they would include them, due to them needing to be replaced if you take the thing off.

Chris

iTrader: (10)

they dont "need" to be replaced when you take it off.

Brettus

You can make most of those gaskets yourself . Except for the turbine outlet one . If that one looks ok just reuse it .

9krpmrx8

True. But my experience creating gaskets sucks. I recreated the gasket for my SOHN adapter and it came out perfect, it looked exactly like the one that came with it (that I broke) yet it still leaked. Richard sent me a new one and the leak has been gone since. I think even though the gasket material for for oil/gas it still sucked. But in the compressor inlet/outlet red RTV would work I guess.

Chris

any hightemp rtv for oil works but I recommend legit gaskets.

Thanks bro!


Someone cut 3" off of the C6 pip that goes to the throttle body and I cannot figure out why they did that.

gregs

iTrader: (7)

I'm willing to bet they cut that section off because how tight of a fit it is to squeeze on the TB..which doesnt really make it any easier..should still work fine

9krpmrx8

iTrader: (46)

You think it will? I also forgot but my BHR spacer will probably affect the fitment as well so I may have to ditch the nitrous

shadycrew31

I read in another thread the spacer doesn't fit with the intake. Sorry man no extra juice for you!
