The reason it doesnt control at your location is because its on the wrong side of the merge, all the air is on the back side of the pipes and doesn't want to flow in the gate. If you put the gate(even your 46mm) on the other side of the merge I bet it would control perfect. A setup with alot of back pressure will usually be easier to control. When i switched to a full open exhaust I couldn't keep it under 20+ psi opposed to it only creeping to around 16psi with full exhaust.

Im in Bismarck. I normally go to Minot's strip and or Pierre SD, or Jamestown. Didnt make it to Sabin last year. My oldest boy was Diagonsed with leukemia last year so its been a ride. You wouldnt have seen it last year as I drove it twice in town. Where you located?

With the new ownership at topend in sabin the track quality is fabulous now, just fyi
Good luck, you have a nice base to start from

I assume your RX7 is what you take. If I ever see you out I will swing over and say hi. I was just looking through some of the build threads and found this.

Same exact wastegate location as mine. Has the same bend and everything. I didnt read anything about boost control problems. However he is running a smaller turbo. **** its always worth a shot.

Well I was able to get a little bit done last night. I removed the intake to install the versafueler just to make it easier on myself. So I finished installing that.
Then put everything back together. I also had a chance to finish up a coupler of small things. I installed my new trans lines to cooler up front. Put in trans fluid, engine oil, coolant. I have to wire in my fuel gauge, boost gauge, oil temp gauge, get a little more vac line for the reg and boost gauge. I think at that point I am ready to download the 2 bar OS and input injector data and I hope to have fire in the hole really soon. I might take a day or two off because I am a little burnt out of working on it. Oh I also have to wire my second fuel pump to a relay and the hobbs switch. I ended up mounting the vac distribution block to the ac delete plate. I will get some pictures of it. I think it looks pretty good. I couldnt find a good place for that thing haha. I also order up a rear seat and belts for the back so I can take my boys on some cruises this summer. I am excited that its getting closer.

That setup is going to make well north of 700 on 15lbs. Local car is running a pt88 at that boost level on E85 with a decent cam and it made well over 700 through a th400. stock internals too. just saying this incase it has an influence on whehter or not you rebuild the kit for wastegate placement
Awesome build

Thanks guys! Well it's so cold out here tonight I decided to have a couple beers and work in front of my tv haha. I rounded up my gauges I bought and triple pod that I ordered and decided to get that part done. I ordered prosport premium halo gauges and I'm pretty impressed so far. They have a a cool feature that let's you link the gauges so you only end up wiring one gauge for all three. They have three different colors I can switch from and also have recall and warning settings on them. They are blacked out until powered on but my flash shows otherwise. Wonder if I can find something else to do now haha. Here ya go.
They have the protective film on them so they look blurry..

So I went to start the car last night after finishing everything up and you know it ( NO GO ). Here is what I have going on maybe some can shed some light on this. Fuel pump primes, car cranks over fine. I have not had a chance to check for spark yet. I will try that today when I get off work. But its thowing a theft deterrent code. Here is what I did to the sense the last time it ran fine that could possibly cause this?
Wired in versafueler
Took out viper alarm system that bugged me from day one
moved wires from pass side of car to fender well ( required moving grounds )
Those are all I can think of. Can I bypass this? It says theft deterrent fuel cutoff. So I am assuming its not getting fuel. THe fuel pump primes but Im sure it shuts of the injectors or something or the sort. Any help would be great. I would love to get this up and running this weekend.
