i got my turbo to hold boost finally (wastegate spring lowes job) car runs so strong lag is no issue what so ever i get full boost (1.35 bar) right at 3k-3.1k rpm car runs. i get fuel cut overboost cel code b/c i havent fliped the switch on the utec to run over 20psi. now i just gotta get to a dyno for a full tune i'm still running stock stage 2 utec sti map with injectors scaled to 800cc car runs very rich i think there is alot of room to lean thing out to make some good power. i cant wait to make it to a dyno and get some numbers and then to the track i am hopein for 330 to the wheels with about 360ftlbs car should run in the mid 12 if i can launch it right.

this might be a good turbo option for the cash
paid 500 used 22
sold 39 for 425
paid deadbolt i think it was 680ish for 1820 style wheel,pnp,coatings and black hole flapper and they modded my injectors for me.
dyno numbers to follow soon. as well as time slips.

def mid 12's, what are your mods?

I suggest you switch on the UTEC FCD now. Even when you are in UTEC OLF if you hit the ecu boost cut point the ecu turns off the fuel pump! The UTEC is still in control thinking it's running the injectors are timing but you will go LEAN due to no fuel pressure.

Enable the UTEC FCD.....

Oh, and nice setup, have fun tuning it...

mods are
vf-22/1820
utec
TXS tbe rfl (2.5in)
xx tunning header
txs intake
mod injectors
stock top mount
and cant forget lowes screen door/waste gate spring
