I don't think you can be considered an 'Overlord' if your boost gauge has never been in the 'pluses'!

Not tuned yet, it's still minus 30* out, and there is no dry pavement......but soon!

My entry should be officially updated, I've made some changes to my setup including losing the GT2871R in favor of the trusty Satan's Hairdryer. More detail in my turbo install thread.

BTW - On the Greddy Prefec Spec II - Set% of 19 yields a perfect 10 PSI to redline for me.

Set - 19
Gain - 17
Set Gain - 7
Peak 10.1 PSI and holds 10 PSI to redline.

It's true, I'm a wuss. Plus I just wanted to have something with Satan's approval in my car. It's so metal.

What about a computer case fan in the intake? it runs on 12v? If it can cool my computer, why not my engine? And just think, better gas milage!

That is the best intake ever. You should market it next to the turbonator.

Any ideas?
Bump? I am still having issues with my idle; and as luck would have it - cannot find my screens. I will try to get a screen here ASAP - anything else that I might need to check?

I pull 20 in of vac at cold idle - once it warms up it goes down to 16 ish... this is starting to **** me off.

^ mine does that too. Remember new seals and new housing. So I don't know if it's abnormal or not.

Well my motor only has 7000 miles on it... but that isn't exactly new.

I did a smoke test and couldn't find any air leaks - plus the vac is fine when cold. I wonder if it is my car trying to "stall" due to the MAF turbulence. DAMN I wish I could find my screen.
