Yeah **** happens. I was really frustrated last night but I just took a minute to calm myself and then Hoss-05 and I got after it. I would be screwed without the SARX crew because physically I'm hurting bad from spending so much time on the deck

We just didn't want to settle for Greddy HP... Go big or go home.
9k will be running a 100% unique setup, also he is port matched on every port that has a gasket. The stock greddy kit has the most ridiculous overlap, its truly a piece of ****. I feel bad for anyone who bought it at full price.
I'm almost positive if you port matched and increased diameter of the outlet pipes you'd see a 20+whp increase on the stock greddy.

did you all get new piping for the greddy kit? bigger? if not, I am sorry to tell you that most of your porting work is going to yield a very minimal difference. airflow will be better if you did it right.
The major increase is going to be bigger, better turbo. I believe Brettus has been saying this for a long time, More airflow needs more room to flow. Get bigger pipes.

Most guys who are running 20g setups in other cars are reporting 2" outlet on the compressor is the perfect size. What would make the kit even better is a 3" outlet on the cold side of the radiator but whatever.
The 20g should be able to flow enough for 300 whp easy. Anything over 350 is just overkill in my book...

My kind of luck Almost done though?
After running for a few years with my estimated power level--i will also say--hold on to your ***.
If you get over 350 rwhp--lots of other changes will be needed to get that same balance you had before and IMHO it is not as much fun to drive. Flame suit ON!

So I did some research and talked to the machinist (knows turbos) when I picked up Shady's turbo a little while ago and basically Teflon tape or paste should not be used on the fittings. Loctite high temp thread sealer or ultra copper RTV (good up to 700F) is recommended. So I will be removing the hose side fittings as well and re sealing them. So that may push me back another day just to give the RTV time to cure before I fire her up.
The up side is that we can seal Shady's up tight the right way before installing it

Does all that make sense? The turbo still doesn't quite sit perfectly on the manifold to match perfectly but that is something to be addressed when I rebuild teh turbo again.

I'm not sure how close the inside diameter of the openings match since mine were ported a bit but from the o outside the two "rectangles" don't line up perfectly on top of each other.

Luckily for the the WRX/STI/SR20/EVO's all run smaller turbos and upgrade to the 20g or 25g there is a large wealth of knowledge and information in those forums.

Here is a video from the startup when we found the turbo leak: http://youtu.be/QmoIwD4phFs
Lots of RTV everywhere last night. Shooting for another start up tonight.... fingers crossed.
