Well I may have a few drives that you can make later this year. I really want to do a weekend drive down your way. Heard there are some great roads around the gourge and towards Astoria.

OK so update time I suppose.
Dondo's RX8, affectionately known as "Blurr". Is running fine and boosting to about 11psi peak and 9 psi constant. Now we do have some room to add more boost. We'd like to take it to 12 psi in the very near future.
She did go on the dyno this morning to see what she was doing since the tuning by Kane, which I am very impressed with. I'll attach the dyno chart for "you people". haha
The engine is ported. Don't ask if it's a street port or any other style of port. It's ported as big as possible while being safe. Not going to get into the specifics. Sorry.
As you can see the boost flattens out above 6600 rpm. I think we have a little more power up there we can get a hold of.

So I'm assuming the Tial 46mm? Man I never noticed how funky the wastegate placement is on that kit. If I go top mount (thinking about it) I will use something like this.
