Yeah here is my massive leak. No wonder it felt slow... This started when i did my up pipe donuts last, i installed them wrong apparently (tightned the collector before bolting the turbo on, and then had to pull turbo down on pedestal, which pinched the donut and made a leak at the collector-turbine connection).

How'd you know?

How do you think the 1.00 housing would work, a nice compromise between EGT and lag or still too much lag?

Cookie i haven't really had my new turbo past the 1100 mark, yet. The EGT's do come up quicker than the 1.15 housing, but the guage tends to move slower after that. As a side note, that was 1400* with the 1.15 housing and the exhaust leak.
Tonight on the way home i wrung it out and it only went to 25psi, backpressure around 50psi, however i can accept the extra 8psi of backpressure for the increase in spoolup and the increase in low-end boost.

If you're happy then I'm happy for you young brother. 2 to 1 is the right ratio for an .84 housing, so I'm guessing it's sealed up tight now.
That little turbo is gonna kill you when you get some big sticks put in it...but you've probably already got your eye on another one (or two
)

Yeah i'm thinking about putting that towards some more oil volume. Or Wheels and tires. Hmm this transmission has worn out my tires much sooner than expected. Should I.... Concentrate on power with bald tires, look funny but go fast, or go with new wheels and tires, look cool and go slower, and no more traction issue events...? Hmm hard decision.

Hmmm....lots of torque, bald tires....rain....sounds like a good way to eat a ditch. I think I would concentrate on keeping it on the asphalt berfore I went to tearing off the asphalt.
Besides.....there's nothing wrong with looking cool.
