In my case the stock one wouldn't hold up to boost, it did for awhile then failed. The replacement one failed almost immediately, so running ONE of these inline. We tried running 2(incase one failed), but it was too much of a restriction so ended up going with one.

Wow! Just read the whole thread. Amazing! I loved how you broke the ring landings, and bent the rod o one piston and just threw another in and kept on boosting. I love it. I always thought if I blew the motor, id s just replace it with another $400-$800 motor. I was shocked to read that you where finding these motors for $80. Amazing!

Have you set ur tru boost to hold wide open letting pressure from the comp. Go to the top of the gate? It will let you do that to whatever pressure you set it to.
It says to set it 2# lower than what your wastegate cracks at. Mine has a 7# spring but only makes a steady 5# on spring only. I set mine to over what the wastegate spring cracks at anyway to try to build boost quicker on my rear mount.

my car is in the high 11s trying to foot brake it, so that is killing it a bit, ill try leaning it out to like 13.0 on the foot brake while trying to build boost and see if it comes up. the brakes are getting better everyday there was definately some **** in there ive knocked loose, i bled em again and they are really getting there.
other than that ill be taking it to the grove tonight and holding it at like 2500 and dropping a 100 shot on it to 60ft it and ill probably leave that on the whole way down the track, trying to bomb a 9 second pass and drive home was my goal for the car since i started.
