    How many gauges you all runnin?

    does the motec log each run individually and put it in a history? like each time the car is shut off and started again? if so how many does it store? or do you have to have the laptop in to log anything.

    Slight surge under hard acceleration

    maxing out at 5 seems kinda low. i would check out the diaphram. adjusting the linkage on the diaphram might help. you could try "shimming" the wastegate also if that doesnt change things. just be careful if you do that. it just takes a little bit to tighten things up.

    Slight surge under hard acceleration

    i was hitting 9-10 early. 3k maybe. its been awhile so i dont remember exactly. have you ever ran without the mbcv hooked up on that exhaust? so you hit 4k and your sitting at 7psi. then does it slowly bleed off to nothing or does it just drop down to like 5 or so?

    Slight surge under hard acceleration

    first i would just see if you can move the diaphram with your hand via moving th rod or arm back and forth. it should have good tension. your running a boost controller on a stock turbo right? well the stock boost pressure should be in the 7psi range with the stock dp. so with a dp and exhaust...

    Slight surge under hard acceleration

    are you still running the stock downpipe and stock exhaust? if you are then it sounds pretty normal to me. basically what is happeneing is that you are getting close to equal backpressure on your turbo. if there is nowhere for the exhaust to go, it will just build backpressure. that it why it...

    Optimal Dimensions for an 1jz Air Filter?

    well according to what i have learned, "lifetime use" is roughly 150k miles. as for the "zero maintenance". i think just b/c its a dy mesh filter it doesnt require the wash and re-oil such as a "wet mesh". i had a dry mesh filter, it didnt seem to get visibly dirty. i just washed it anyway. with...

    Slight surge under hard acceleration

    are you talking about compressor surge? or are you saying your boost slowly drops as your rpms increase?
