Still running on old tune.
Can't even try to retune, if the boost creep issue isn't fixed....
Hits vtec, boost goes through 14psi....

What Wastegate are you using?Quote:

But i do agree with you that the position the wastegate pipe re-enters the downpipe is very critical.
The longer the better!
I am using a Turbonetics Evolution Wastegate on my setup.
Wastegate pipe re-enters the downpipe after approx 300mm (As long as we could go without hitting the sump/block hahaha)
No boost creep whatsoever.
I have an internal wastgate. Using a KLS adjustable actuator.Quote:

Ouch, well hopefully you can 'delete' that internal wastegate, and put the external back on again!Quote:

No, you misunderstand.Quote:

Now I have a gt28/71.
Naturally, these build boost more easily than the old turbo. All I have to do is redesign the dump, all will be fine.
This car was never an attempt to build mass power, thats my next build. This was just to build a strong relyable street turbo setup. Getting things working right is more important than building power....
Now i follow =PQuote:

I've even considered swapping back to the OEM Engine Mounts, Traction Bar and Flywheel just for a little better driveability.
Well I love my 11lb fly wheel and stage 4 clutch.Quote:

I don't care how "racecar" it feels. As long as it never breaks down...
I've got an 8.9lb flywheel.. Haha it's a mean son of a bitch.Quote:

Good mindset to have!
My tuner has always loved how i've got 3x more power than a stock CB7 Accord, yet it drives just as nicely.
Yup.... Driveability>power....!
