It's not getting tuned until tuesday.
Here's the completed shot of the engine bay. I still need to connect the nipple on the intake pipe into the PCV.
Only problem is, I drove it home, and noticed the wastegate is stuck open
. I'm getting zero spool on the turbo. Now I have to wait for it to cool down so I can take it off, and figure out why it's opening with no pressure. It wasn't doing that a few days ago
Edit: It wasn't the wastegate. one of the IC pipes under the car wasn't connected. I didn't think it was that because I heard no spool from teh turbo. Turns out the motor just couldn't put out enough air on its own to spin it
So it's working great right now. It was running RICH through boost, like 9:1, or 10:1, but holy fuck does it pull hard. I was paying more attentino to the road then the gauges, but I think it was boosting 15.6psi, and it hit that about 4500. There's positive boost from like 2500 onward, creeps up to about 5psi at 4000, then all hell breaks loose, it spikes to 16ish, and you're at 7500.
Stupid thing has compressor surge like a mofo when I let off the gas. I can hear the BOV opening, but it's not venting enough. I think it might be a weak vacuum source, as it's tee'd off a line that has like 5 things tee'd off of it. I'm going to run a dedicated line for it tomorrow, and see if it helps. If not, I may have to move it closer to the throttle, but it should be ok where it is.
