Yea, I've been playing with online translators. Thanks!

Long story short - while cleaning out my in-laws house we came across an old family bible with a lot of notes in it. By the dates, it looks like mid to late 1800's, but it is all in german. Here's an example of one of the pages. Anyone here translate??? I can email the photos to anyone...

I have some stock GN wheels in Jacksonville...

www.kalecoauto.com has some replacement muffler bearings. Also alot of other hard to find parts, such as an adjustable power band and cross drilled brake lines. I personally like the piston return spring - http://kalecoauto.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=12&products_id=49

So I went all out.... I installed an AMS1000 boost controler w/co2, along with an external gate downpipe, and PTE 46mm wategate (thanks for getting me everything so fast Hartline!!). This way I can run a light spring in the wastegate and have some CO2 on top of it to limit myself to 6psi boost...

Still have an EGR valve? This can cause a surge at cruise as well.

Thanks kidglok, I'll play with it and see how that does.

28 degrees

So, in a simplified setup - I could run an external gate with a 6 lb spring, then run a regulated pressure source from a CO2 bottle at 19psi to the top of the wastegate through a solinoid valve activated by the tranny brake. Get on brake, boost up to the 6psi wastegate, then when tranny brake...

As for as I know, you cannot control boost lower than your actuator / wastegate spring. If I'm wrong, pls let me know!!

At 6 psi, it 60's at 1.55. At 9 psi it has gone 1.48 I just want to max out boost for a given RPM on the 2 step, and be able to reach that boost level in 3 secs or so..... Trying to get a consistant and repeatable 60' no matter how long I'm on the brake. Yes, I'm pulling timing via 2...

Yes, I'm pulling timing via 2 step. I'm going to run some tests this weekend to see what spools better, retarded timing vs advanced timing and rich vs lean. I'm also curious to see if setting the 2 step rpm to the stall speed of the converter changes anything. I just want to max out boost for...

I believe boost contol that low would require a boost controller with an external boost reference source such as the AMS1000 with CO2 and an external waste gate setup (if I understand everything correctly). I'm kinda hoping I can find something a little less involved (and a little cheaper :) )
