forty would the manifodl allow you to flip the turbo over and have the exhaust side near the AC compressor side? That would allow u to keep ur AC.

I don't believe so. And even if it did, the a/c system is looooong gone. I made a killing on though, so its all good. Not to mention, I never used it. I perfer to roll with my windows down and moonroof open, even if its hot as crap out. The only time i really ever used my a/c was to de-fog my windows
I'm hoping to have big updates later today, I've got some things to change this afternoon that, I HOPE, will cure my "leaning out" woes

Will do bro.
Last night was pretty funny. I was coming home from getting a couple late night shakes, and decided to push it a bit. Well, it leans out at 3-4 psi, so I had to feather the gas to keep it at 1 or 2 psi. Well, I managed to do it pretty well and even at such low boost the car was considerably faster. Can't wait to feel the full 8 pounds
More to come..

hahaha, I didn't realize I had so many fans!! I kid, I kid..
I am waiting on my new Golden Eagle Vacuum Manifold. Talk to the guys at golden eagle yesterday and they said they are going to get it to me either today or tomorrow. After that, I "should" be ready to roll.
The problem right now, is with the turbo being as small as it is, it spools very fast. Usually that's not a problem, but it is when the wastegate is taking it's boost reading from the compressor housing. Long story short, it spools to 8psi almost instantly, and the wastegate opens before that boost can even reach the motor. So by hooking up the vacuum manifold, the wastegate will take it's reading from the Intake Manifold rather than right at the turbo. The WG will then see the same amount of boost that the motor is actually seeing, and I should be able to hit and hold 8psi from there.
Wish me luck!!
