I second that. Mine drives fine, the only issue I have is I'm down on power right now but that should easily be worked out as soon as someone competent with turbos looks at it. As it is right now the car is tuned to perfection at 12psi.
Turbo really better?

Did you ever post a dyno graph? Id be curious to see what it looks like
there aren't a lot out yet, but I know of one coming out (Vitoman) and I have someone here that might do it, but not sure yet.
I am considering it, but it will be a while to save the money for the twin kit. I am actually paying some bills off first...hahaha. sold my current car and should have my new comp orange in about a month. can't wait.
Damn Jason, you are worse than me. I will have to show my wife this post so she won't think I am the only one who spends lots of money on cars.
I did, but here it is again.
How much boost on the gauge were you seeing and what kind of timing?
actually, shocking enough, aside from the mods on my 04, I haven't spent a lot really. a lot less than others. I can pm you my history with the terminators if you want. no need to put it in this thread.
Timing is 15 degrees. I don't know what the gauge was showing because I was outside the car. At the time there was no EBC and only two springs in the WG (9lb and 7lb). After the tune my boost gauge was showing 16psi. It was showing 16psi until I had the EBC installed. I figure I should just take the EBC off automatic mode and start adjusting it in manual mode (1-100 increments instead of PSI)
Nah, I was just messing with you. I probably have spent more on my one car than you have on all yours:rolling:
Power does seem a bit low for that amount of boost if it is indeed showing that on the gauge. How accurate is that dyno and how does the car feel? It could be a possibility that you do not have a 76 but I would guess the spool would be quicker then that if that were the case. What kind of exhaust is on the car and is there a cat on it?
Have you been back on the dyno with only 1 spring in the gate and the EBC?
I don't know about the dyno accuracy. I had it tuned in Columnia SC by some guy named Chris Tuten. He came highly recommended by a lot of people here in Charleston. The car feels strong as hell up top. A few people on this site believe I don't have a 76 but something smaller. I have a Bassani cat back and no cats.
I have not have not had it to the dyno since the install of the EBC. One thing I have noticed is my EBC starts reading boost while my pillar mounted gauge is still showing vacuum. My EBC sits at 0.0 at idle but as soon as I hit the gas to start driving it will read around .6 and go up to 1.5 or so while I am still in vacuum according to my pillar gauge.
yeah, you gotta change the routing of the vac lines for the EBC. as stated in another thread I think, change the source from that T to the intake for the brain of the EBC. then you will see boost and vac. personally there is no need for the other boost gauge, but keep it for now and see what happens. but get rid of that T fitting at the soleniod. it should be a 5 min change.
I did, but here it is again.
why does the power level off like that? I would think it would keep climbing.....
That's what I've been trying to figure out. Maybe I'm pegging my MAF? I have the SCT 2400 one. I figure my tuner would have picked up on that though. If my turbo is too small maybe it's maxed out.
So, I should remove the T-fitting from the vacuum line near the soleniod, then run that thin line that goes to the brain to a vacuum source in my intake?
I swear, I am good at exhaust work and easy bolt on stuff, but this is like rocket science too me...vacuum lines, wastegates, BOV's, EBC's, solenoids, brain boxes, and turbo sizing. My head hurts.
Yes get rid of the T before the brain like I mentioned in the other post
Thats why I run a manual controller. Its super easy, twist knob and go lol.
The power leveling off is normal, mines does the same its because of the intake manifold design.
If Turbos were legal in California, I'd prob have twin 57's

Yep 5k when a whipple or KB are 1/2 the price.
Nah, My KB already makes me grow ball hairs.
