I'm going to do black chrome powdercoat on all the piping, wastegate, intake horn, intercooler to manifold pipe, alternator bracket and valve cover then polish the compressor housings. What color are you going to paint yours?

Nice Nice. Gonna look even more similar when the pipes aren't rusty anymore haha. How is spoolup with yours? About what rpm do you get boost? How do your egts run? If you dont mind sharing.

I'll gladly share when I find out. I drove it to and from work once, and thats it. I've hit 45PSI before 2700RPM (I think) with the Edge on 0.

Thats really good boost for no box. With my first set I could only get like 35 without the edge and 28 on level 1. It was really wierd. then level 6 and I could hit like 55 on a good day. I had the wastegate turned down because I only had torqued headbolts. Can you adjust that banks acctuator?

I guess I need to edit my sig. The wastegate actuator was removed in my set up, it was in the way. I wired the wastegate shut. Not exactly what I wanted to do, but room is at a premium, as you know.
I do have 65HP nozzles in my rig, they changed it so much.

Just a suggestion but you should probably check your drive pressure with that setup. It might be through the roof. Ya its amazing how crappy you find out stock injectors are when you go with a quality set.
