Any books on the subject? I wouldn't know where to start.

 

At bare minimum...gut the shiznit out of them...

Beware of cutting and re-welding with the turbo on the car. Without cleaning those pipes out EXTREMELY well, starting the car could mean horrible things for the lil innocent turbine.

Here is a pic of my BOV...mounted before the MAF so I'm not blowing un-metered air off...



This in on the passenger side behind the bumper.

Here is with the bumper off. BTW, this is my own custom setup

 

Thats where I put my bov

 

When does full boost come on for you sts guys. I do not see max boost till about 3800

 

what else did you have to cut? You did same as me for FMIC. I like keeping the under bumper plastic cover stuff, so i cut into it and lined the cut with rubber to make it snug against the pipe.

 

I have left my plastic off for now since I done drive in the rain and all that plastic does is protect stuff like wires and sucg from watter, well it looks like anyways it might act as a support for the bumper too.

 

I understand that the gauges I need for the STS are Boost, Wide Band and Fuel PSI, question is which ones do I get, mechanical or electrical for the ones it applies to. I was looking at getting the Autometer Ultra-Lite or Phantom Series.

 

mechanical boost gauge, electrical fuel pressure

 

Thanks, appreciate it

 

I see full boost before 3k rpms. 67mm turbo...

I left most my plastic intact...just cut a hole big enough to get the piping through on each side.

 

thats pretty quick..... do you have the .81 exhaust housing or the .96?

 

.81

Alan, when I raced that Z06, I quasi brake boosted him. It stunk afterwards...but it worked well

I don't think I could have pulled him though if I hadn't.

 

You think this off road y-pipe would be better than gutting the cats?

Dude my intake pipe that feeds to the tb gets HOT!! I touched it today after I was out driving around and it was pretty freakin hot all the other pipe was cool though, maybe it just pics up heat being in the engine bay, any one else notice this?

 

Is it just me or did everyone have to weld exhaust inlet to turbo pipe to the factory pipe???

 

Ya, my intake pipe gets pretty hot.

Actually, let me see if anyone can answer this...

When I go into boost, specifically at night, my battery meter drops way down, the lights in and outside the car dim, etc, etc. It's like the alternator can't keep up when the car goes into boost??!!

I wonder if it's the oil pump kicking into high, but I can't imagine it pulling that much power. Maybe the PCV system...??

 

I don't see the PCV system having anything to do with it. My car has been doing something similar as we'll, might just be the battery getting weak.

I'm going to get my battery tested then I'm going to test the volts on the alternator. Who know's maybe it does have something to do with the oil pump?

 

It's probably the only way to make it leakprooof, so I did it.

 

We'll I just dyno'd the car the other day on 12.5 lbs of boost and made 653whp 664tq.

What really tripped me out was that my boost gauge read 14 lbs but their software that was tee'd into the same vacum source as my gauge read 12.5 lbs? My gauge is kind of hooked up ghetto fabulous since I haven't shortened the line yet so maybe I'm not getting an accurate reading.

 

Plus it gives it less chances of falling off and dropping your turbo on the road.
