I see that you said that you are relocating your wastegates...any idea of what you are going to do to them? Just extend the runners rearward?

First I am going to water cool them and see if that helps. I currently have the rear wastegate wrapped with heat shielding but it still melts the diaphragm. My plan is to pull the engine soon for a swap and investigate what I can do to help the issue. I really do not have a good fix at this time nor do I want to re make the manifold or DP.

I'm not sure how you kept all those materials and locations straight in your mind haha, but thanks for the info! I thought you went straight from the Vband on the turbo to a 4" DP. Gotcha. And I can completely understand not doing the whole thing in 321ss, not worth the benefit vs cost. Was there a specific reason you got an RB flange? Someone else suggested getting that one too but I don't yet know why. I'll get it anyway though, no biggie. As far as the cooling efficiency of the IC, I've never measured my temps so I wouldn't know how they compare to yours, but I know current VMIC works pretty well as far as cooling. I just think I might be able to get less pressure drop with something with smoother flowing end tanks. Then comes the problem of the air moving too fast to be cooled efficiently...and for that I was going to use 2.75" exit and 3" entrance piping. But flow/CFM is where I'm stuck right now. Not that it really matters, I'm not racing, just trying to give my all to build my favorite street car haha. MAYBE it'll see the track someday, but I've never paid attention to rules and regulations so I'm so far past it now and it's not worth going back. So you're saying the single responds faster than the stock twins? Or are you talking just about the power it delivers? I didn't think any single would respond as fast as the twins. I was hoping short runners and an efficient IC would help though. Sorry for all the questions, but thanks for responding anyway. Quote:

I will post my dyno chart and let you figure out if the twins are better. Although for a street car I would get a bigger turbo like a GT35 or so. The street is another world compared to auto crossing. ![]()

here is what I have thought about. 1. I raced my car for half a season with out any issues. 2. I used the Anti lag launch function at a couple of races mid way through the season. 3. Next race blown waste gates. I repaired the waste gates after I found the problem. unfortunately I raced at the Toledo Ohio Solo with low boost as a result. 4. New waste gates installed for Nationals, first day of Pro Solo ( using ALS ), resulted in low boost for second day. I finished third but maybe the Low boost helped more than hurt. 5. Turned ALS off for good after that and I have not had an issue since. Also the waste gate that had the most damage was the rear one. Yes, it is closest to the exhaust but it also has the most direct "straight" path from the exhaust. Haltech has a disclaimer on using the ALS they should ad "will destroy waste gates" ![]() Also added more pictures for ABS, Diff brace and exhaust tip.

I started making a new oil fill neck that I will ad a catch can to later for my vented PCV set up. Also I am trying to get ready to dyno this weekend. I will try and update everything before my dyno tuning session. I also added a picture of my two helpers.
