550 Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Yeah... I'm not too worried, I am running an FMIC with waterinjection. Might be going further with some more cooling effort depending on how things look at my planned max psi... Only time will tell. I have alot of time to wait too :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudge_Brownie Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 lack of tune and low fuel grade were the biggest factors I think. I was rotating octanes since I drive so much. You order rods yet? You didnt' have a tune? For some reason I always thought you had either RICA or IPD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdizzle Posted March 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 You didnt' have a tune? For some reason I always thought you had either RICA or IPD?nope.Just got back from the machine shop. Feel much better w/ these guys.. The shop foreman took one look at one of the pistons and saw it had a cracked ring land.. Also discussed tolerances and which pistons to go and we all decided that the OS1 is the best way to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larryo108 Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 is that a forge wastegate? how much for that and do they make one that will mount to a 16T? Do you have to do any mods to mount it to the 19T? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdizzle Posted March 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 is that a forge wastegate? how much for that and do they make one that will mount to a 16T? Do you have to do any mods to mount it to the 19T?it will bolt up right to a 16T after you drill out the holes for the wastegate tomount to bracket. You have to use a different rod to mount it to the 19T. The rods on the wastegate are interchangeable. It's a Forge FMAC048 wastegate actuator for a T3/T4/T35 and it's adjustable. also, on the 19T, the wastegate will hit the CBV housing if you don't file some material out, it's an easy fix w/ a round and flat bastard file.
