    What FPR should I use?

    Whats the best way to pull off the stock cap, did you just cut it off? I assume you used a snap ring to hold the new cap on? What holds the stock diaphragm in place? Do you have any other pictures? Thanks!

    different idea on use of MBCs

    Sounds like a good idea, its worth the experiment at least. Having two extra boost gauges is pointless though. Its tough to explain (i will try) but if the mbcs are set anywhere close to each other, the wastegates will also be close to one another. Even if you get a higher shaft speed out of...

    What FPR should I use?

    You need one with a boost reference. This is not to dump in extra fuel under boost, it is to keep the pressure difference between the fuel rail and intake manifold the same, so that for any given injector duty the same amount of fuel will flow. You do not want a RRFPR. RRFPRs are for hondas...

    Radiator hose question

    Its going to be different for different rads. IIRC the stub on my rad is shorter. Not many of our cars are going to have OEM rads anymore.

    pesky wrx

    I am guessing you are getting about 11 psi on those upgrades, making 270 rwhp on that auto... If its not an STI you will beat him already, it only has 227 Hp. If its an STI you will probably be fairly even, since they make 300 hp (I dont know if thats a lowball from subaru or not, but...

    Poly-U Bushings

    I took a look at their catalogue and all it shows is inner control arm (upper and lower) bushings for the mk3. Is that all they give you for $200 or is it a more complete kit like suprasports?

    HKS Super AFR

    The voltage versus flow rate curve of the hot wire sensors is not linear, and I believe the safr has some approximate information built into its chip to compensate for it, so dont expect a %5 change to change the afr %5 at all flow rates. It should work fine though.

    I can get 1pc driveshafts made for $200 or less !!

    What modifications are required to make this DS work? I remember hearing about this shaft all the time.

    Alluminum for exhaust pipes: bad idea?

    There is no way an aluminum exhaust would melt outright, since post turbo temps are much lower than runner temps. Even if the exhaust was 1500f it still wouldnt melt, because of the cool air on the outside, the metal would never get to 1500f. Anyway, the problem isnt the exhaust melting...

    Do I need to buy struts?

    Its not a fun / cheap job to swap struts, so why do it twice? Many people who have lowered their car on stock struts blow within a year, often much less. Get some KYB GR2s off ebay for $125 at worst.

    newly installed IC pipes

    I assume your talking to me. Stockish compression, head and block were slightly shaved once, with stock HG. I havent noticed that make a difference to anything else though. Yes it took modification to the snorkel hole and the piece of sheetmetal the headlight motor mounts to.

    CT26 turbo outlet size?

    Actually its 2.1", plus the lip that runs around the edge. I used a 2.25" coupler on it since that is what I had laying around and it was able to clamp down enough without wrinkling, although barely. You would probably also be able to get a 2" coupler on, but it would be very hard to remove 6...

    newly installed IC pipes

    Heres mine I just got installed. I went for the shortest route possible. I make 4psi at 1500 rpm and 8psi at 2000 rpm! Too bad I have to rebuild my turbo though:icon_conf

    ? for the welders out there

    You can also bolt it to a flat piece of steel before you start welding it, that will stop it warping. No I dont think heating and bolting to something flat will unwarp it.

    Running without an innercooler??

    No way it would work as well as a decent A2A intercooler. You need surface area and temperature difference to transfer the heat, and a 2.5" tube has minimal surface area compared to the inside of an IC.
