Hot pipes make no difference on the size turbo or how much boost it will actually make or hold until you get way up there in the HP like 1000 plus, as long as the flange is the same t4 or t6

This is pretty interesting..... looks like an okay kit for what you pay for it.
98Camarod what kind of numbers and track times are you putting down with your set-up? You can PM if you dont want it posted.... thanks.

ouch....I had my wife go with me after I installed my eboost2 to do some tuning. I told her to tell me if the boost went over 10lbs when I hit it. Well the damn thing went to 17lbs. I guess the only good thing is that it pulled alot of timing, IIRC it was 8*. I told her it felt weird, how high did the boost go? She says to me, "it went to 17." I got lucky with that one I suppose.

yea, i used a prototype wastegate they made (aka cheap)
i guess thats what i get for not buying a nice one.
im now doing a fully forged 408 with every stud/bolt possible ARP. should be around 750rwhp for the street. hoping to get in the 900rwhp range once i beef up the fuel system a bit.
i learned my lesson on this one. yeah camarod, its weird, i think mine spiked to around 17psi too!!!!
total carnage: 4 broken pistons, 2 bent rods, and the block cracked in 3 places. woooooooo!
