Houston we have a problem! Well I wrapped the downpipe with header wrap today and placed some sheet metal in front of the ECM. Then I went for another test drive. Found some open road and nailed it in first gear. This thing was awsome. Pulled like a strong V6. But my problem is my eyes were glued to the boost guage and I let off the gas when it hit 10 psi. Holly shit I cant believe the stock wastegate actuator would let it get this high. I still dont even know how high it would go. Im sure my fuel system is no match for this. It happened fast but it felt like it lost power after about 8-9 psi. I think it went lean. So tomarrow I will be looking for a new acuator. At least nothing blew up.
