It looks very nice.hope it works good.Most all the serious cars run tial wastegates..they work excellent and are super stable at any boost level.
They look great too. I have a 44 v band on my 97 talon and will likely be getting same on on planned turbo 99 ta.

ok well i still have the same boost creep, but it does happen about 5psi lower so its good and a let down at the same time.

i was able to run pump gas only, found out my tune was a lot closer than i expected.. so one less thing to try to fix.

feels smoother without the meth spraying.. perhaps its not all evaporating because its still chilly out.

im spraying about 17% of my fuel as methanol when i do.

anybody who has bs3 i'd like to take a look at my graphs.. running out of time.

next week maybe will dyno no meth and race gas.
