Need some opinions on whether or not you guys think I should just cut bait and look for a new downpipe or keep messing with this GN1 external setup I have now.
I've not been able to control the boost at all with the GN1 pipe. The first time I had issues, he told me to check the actuator with a compressor to make sure it was opening/closing. It did make a distinct clicking sound each time I hit it with 15 psi, but the boost gauge would jump to 35 psi when the pipe was on the car. He thought there could be some weld slag in the discharge pipe, so it cost me $65 to send it back to him. He cut the discharge pipe, cleaned it out, and replaced the wastegate spring. Still no control. Another phone call and I was told I needed his boost controller to make it work. $100 later and guess what....no control again. At half throttle this thing spikes to 35 psi and blows the front cover and oil pan gaskets out (luckily that's all that got destroyed because Razor's alky kit was working flawlessly)
Is the RJC internal gate pipe maybe my soloution? I had a Terry Houston pipe before, that I'm really regretting selling. What are the thoughts here?
