    Stutters at high RPMs...

    you can still build boost with a leak depending on how big it is. I though you should be making more than 7psi with a ddp though, maybe even hit fc, anyone else? btw, at what rpm are you spooling to full boost

    Getting nitrous bottle powdercoated? any problems?

    nos is the equivalent of saying rpm instead of revolutions per minute. nothing wrong with that, imo. if they say "i want two of the big bottles" then you can show them what the fingers said to the face. powdercoat coat cures at 350f or less, so unless it's a composite bottle, the process wont...

    suspension recs?

    koni is the next best choice to a full coilover suspension. you're right, there's a tab that can be adjusted with the knob they provide (knob is only used to adjust, it doesnt stay on there all the time). The only problem with them is they dont use a clicking mechanism, theres just two turns...

    Getting nitrous bottle powdercoated? any problems?

    i believe the quote is "bottles are for babies, real men get blown" pun intended ;) call the manufacturer and ask what is required to replace the valve assy. without it, its just a metal cylinder. no danger whatsoever. theres a number of companies that sell the valves separately so I don't...

    divorced turbo discharge flange

    Not Supra but a boosted car problem

    ok i can see we're on the same page ;) i didnt see anything mentioned about a tuning device in the previous post so I assumed you meant bigger injectors + the fpr posted, alone, would do the trick. btw, duty cycle is a function of pulse width, if one changes, so does the other ;)

    pump gas?

    yep, called the adiabatic process http://www.stealth316.com/2-adiabat1.htm grim, youre right, 30psi from a smaller turbo produces similar heat as 30psi from a larger turbo, however since the smaller turbo takes more psi to make the same power, at the same power levels, the larger turbo will...
