Well, after all my cleaning up last night of the battery acid (which took FORVER BTW) I got to wake up and go tune and test what kind of power i'm getting from the rebuild and mods. He threw it on and after about an hour of tuning anything BUT impressive numbers came out...about 220HP max and 240's Torque max. :cry:
Problem arised: uncontrollable boost spike. Turbo has about 160K on it and i'm not sure if its ever been rebuilt. My greddy spec II couldn't do much as it could only hold a STEADY 5-7PSI, after that, huge boost spikes occur up to about 12-13PSI at 3.5K or so and drops to 5 or 6 after 4K. We tried turning off teh boost controller and relied just on the wastegate. It gave a steady 6PSI or so. He told me it could be either the wastegate gone bad or turbo. My guess is a little bit of both. So now i'm going to take my other turbo and have it rebuilt most likely with 57trim and just assume its the turbo as an excuse :naughty: .
