hmmm, ill have to try to get some maps for some of them, the 500 looks like it may be too much turbo for me, though the 450 does look nice ill have to try to get in touch with turbonetics in the future and see what turbine housings they offer, the 5 bolt to the internal gate on the GTs sure is convenient, no manifold work ftw

:lol: too bad they dont have any r manis at the jy, i dont think its possible on the stock one to get access to all of the ports at once, the collector is in 3 sections after all.

Very nice job on the re-build! Makes me jealous, even just the "clean block" part!

Thanks man, thats the first time that block has been leak free for a long time, prev owner was not very nice to her.

Tried to turn the boost up last night, it was @ 10 till redline before, my goal was 15 but the controller is only letting me to around 13 and them it backs down to 10 at the higher rpms. Im gonna try to reverse the lines on the controller to make sure its hooked up right and go from there. If thats not the problem then i think i may be having a wastegate issue.

Why didn't you throw in an LSD before you threw everything back together?!?!?.... oh that's right i bought the last one in the US :lol: :lol: :lol: Looks good kyle, Step up to a gt35r like the one i have in my closet ;)

After so much money in the motor i had 0 cash left to buy a lsd :lol:

All in good time, im sure they could be found elsewhere, wont happen for a while, 35r is def one of my many many options, you should make yours more than a paperweight ;)

Boost issues fixed as well, wastegate was well out of adjustment
