ost_uid0]nah not running lean but I wanna do everything geoff did because he has never had a problem with running lean...

FPR, Fuel pump and high flow filter i should be able to run 14psi easy...

then after that i will be investing in rebuilding the turbo to run 18psi
I wont run 18psi but just I can sleep easier at night if I know my impeller blades won't shatter[/color

ost_uid0]keep both cars... i wanted to keep my astina but i cant afford to pay two insurance/rego ect.
$25k would be a reasonable price for your car considering you have turbo on...[/color

ost_uid1]Reasonable and reality are not always the same.
Don't think any of us will get close to $25K for our
cars turbo, huge bodykit or anything else.
Tony so you want more boost then

cool. I would go
the hybrid VF8 over just a high-flo VJ20 will cost about
the same $850 bucks. You cant work out a swapover
price with Geoff as he paid big bucks for his rebuild
could be a way for him to get a couple of extra bucks
to compensate for people when they haggle him down.

ost_uid1]So thats what you get from the 2.5" exhaust. Cool.
Ever hit the boost cut ??
I am looking at manifold designs at the moment to add
a new turbo. Would be so sweet that and the new ECU.
Be able to keep up with you then, for a little while anyway

ost_uid0]nah no boost cut... just more wheel spin.. I have a bad flat spot in the rev range though and are planning to sort that out this weekend...

Its either
- Water temp sensor to the ECU
- Oxygen sensor wires have been cut (The previous owner of my engine must have had a exhaust temp guage and ego sensor and the wires are dodgy)
- or the afm is screwed

I hope its the O2 sensor because that wont cost me anything to fix. AFM will be expensive if that is what the problem is..[/color
