That makes sense.

I've been running my guestimates on about 14psi, but even so I'd be super stoked with 380-390 at 13psi. It's gunna be more than I'd be able to (legally) use on the local roads anyway

That's because local roads are parking lots..... Foot power might be faster most days.

Seriously... lol


Aaaannndddd.... It looks like I've got a new shopping list. Fixing my exhaust this time...

The reason why I say that is because the v-band flange used to make my exhaust doesn't match up that well with the flange on my turbo, the result is that I have a bit of an exhaust leak where the turbo meets the downpipe.

We'll remedy that leak and fix the lack of flex couplers in my DP/WG pipe all at once. I'll also switch from the crappy slip-joint that PFS used to connect my DP to my MP, replacing that with another v-band connection.

Shopping list being:

1x Vibrant Flexible Exhaust Couplings (4"x8") w/ Interlock Liner - $100.55
1x Vibrant Flexible Exhaust Couplings (1.75"x4") w/ Interlock Liner - $24.90
1x Vibrant V-Band Flange/Clamp Assembly - Stainless Steel Flanges (4") - $91.30
1x Precision Turbo and Engine V-Band Turbine Discharge Flange for PTE V-Band inlet/outlet Turbine Housings - $49.99
1x Precision V-Band Clamp - 3.00" - $24.99

We'll need to wait until I get a bit more funding before addressing these little toys.. Brian, please let me know if I'm missing something
