    Ouch, well hopefully you can 'delete' that internal wastegate, and put the external back on again!
    Seems odd that the internal wastegate of said upgraded turbo, cannot keep the boost in check.
    It's not 4x4 status, think of it as "Winter Mode".

    No, you misunderstand.
    I always had an internal wastegate, but the old turbo exhaust housing had a piece welded to it that seperated the dump from the waste gate.
    And that was a t25/28.
    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 =P

    And that's the way to do it.. Reliable is the way to go! Power comes second.
    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.
    And about to fit the after market mounts and traction bar I already have... LOL
    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.
    I have ESP Mounts and Tractionbar, i like them.. Just don't have anything in your glove box, that way it won't rattle haha.
    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.
