I would be wary of boosting much higher than factory boost cut on stock injectors if I were you. Especially considering you're single turbo.
It's a shame the 1J didnt come with larger injectors stock. Trying to make power on stock injectors is playing with fire, IMO. Ask me how I know.
But...
You have a single turbo. Changes the tone, immensely.
My car sounded completely different when I installed my K26 turbos. Like a totally different engine.
I think I can handle the painting. The resevoir just caught me off guard. It looks good and will go good with the blackness in my engine bay.
I need to clean it first though. The plastics get a little yellow over time.
No I wouldn't call it a fluke. The stock turbos like to creep up with full exhaust. Sometimes you might bang off FC, sometimes you might not. Usually redlining in a higher gear like 3rd of 4th at WOT you'll have that happen sometimes.
If you dyno'd the car and logged the boost pressure, you...
I don't know. You might be ok, might not. The offset is kinda important to wheel fitment.
If you're on stock suspension, I'll just guess you won't rub the fender. But if your offset is too high, you could be rubbing suspension parts. So who knows.
Nick, I noticed your hydro fan resevoir is black now with a small line so you can still see the fluid level. What did you use to do that? A normal rattle can flat black?
Yes a stock 2 1/4(IIRC) NA exhaust on a turbo car is just about as bad as it gets. You will see significant gains from putting a proper 3in exhaust on there. You will be very surprised.
