ok.

exhaust at you point does not matter.. common sense does. get some..

hint. 9psi on the greedy without a tuner that knows what they are doing = fail and money you dont have.

you can pay me now or you can pay me later..

a good exhaust esp. for FI is the turboXS system. It is a true 3" exhaust and comes with the catless midpipe. It's a good price as well.

As far as upgrading the internals of the engine....you really don't have to worry about it if you have a rock solid tune. Once you do upgrade your greddy turbo, a safe whp is around 300-330 or so....once you get to that point, injectors should be replaced. I believe the stock fuel pump is good to 350whp or so....There is an upgrade though at www.mazsport.net.

Keep in mind, we have never seen a turbocharged Renesis dyno at 400HP at the wheels. If you want that kind of power, than maybe that 20B is a better option for you, although the cost of fabrication to get that to fit is going to be outrageous. GL, and don't mind some of the veterans here, they can get cranky at newbies. There is a lot of great info on this forum, do some reading!

I just don't get why if the dyno is there, it wouldn't be posted. I'm not saying it doesn't exist, in fact it probably does somewhere, I'm asking why he refuses to show anyone.

There is much that you, and many others, don't get.

There is much that I don't get, I'm sure.

However, I have nothing to gain here other than to mention that there is much more happening out there than what is represented on this forum.
The forum is just a communication tool and, like all forms of communication, it can and will be manipulated to the advantage of the speaker.

LoL, not that I was expecting a straight answer.

I suppose if you have it, eventually we'll end up seeing it.

Im working on Greddy fix #2, and Im having a hard time locating the nipple. I have been to every parts store, home depot, lowes, ace hardware, and no one carries 1/8 nipple. The smallest I can find is 1/4. I found this one at work, but the nipple is alittle short and its brass. Can I get away using this one or should I keep trying to find a longer nipple? Thanks,

Yes, that is what is going to be tapped into the pipe attached to the compressor side of the turbo. My main concern was how short the nipple is, (is it long enough to securely hold the hose) and brass has a lower meltling point than stainless and not real sure how hot the compressor side gets. Looks like brass melts around 1600f so I would think that shouldnt be a problem. Just wanted to make sure I was good before I got it in there just for it to fail. Thanks!

LOL Brass isn't going to melt with your intake air, it can handle engine oil and coolant so yeah, it's fine. And the length of the hose barb isn't a problem

Just wondering how you all adhere the nipple to the pipe?? I found a better fitting which is stainless steel and the nipple is exactly the same size as the waste gate actuator. Talked to a couple friends and they think the 90 degree pipe that connects to the turbo is to thin to tap, being as it would only hold with about 3 threads. They also said its hard to weld stainless steel and cast aluminum. Just looking to see how everyone adapted their fitting on their pipe. Trying to get the install done this week and this is my last hang up. (Hopefully)
Thanks!
