Well I finally put the turbo in. I got most of it done Sat. It took all day and some. I got it reflashed today. I'll post up pictures and possibly a Video asap. It feels very strong. Boost is Freakin awesome!!! I"m runnin about 6 lbs right now. I'm still kinda afraid to stomp on it the whole way. I want to break it in slowwly.
I might get to the track Wed. Just to get a baseline :-)
I'm not that active anymore on here, but I figured I would let everyone know anyway.

2004 Turbo cavalier 11PSI and blown!
She got some balls man.....Ryan...call me if you go to the track wednesday. I'll meet you there since Im only 10 minutes down the road from the track. I wanna see the bitch run 13's. Maybe we can get it tuned a little better and get them drag radials going.
Holy @!#$ this thing is fun! The Reflash is runnin beautifully. I was a little worried at first, but the A/F is right where I want it!
I'm going to the track tomorrow to get a baseline with the turbo.
Quick question...How many psi will this thing take before... it goes boom? Reason being my friend just got a 98 Camaro with the LS1. I know there exremely fast, but I will do everything in my power to atleast stay beside him!!! lol
I LOVE BOOST!!!!!
I'll seeya at the track 2morrow Chris!
Later on

you can go around 250whp safely. what size is the turbo? take it up to 8 for sure.
I want to share something with you - the three sentences that will get you through life. Number one, 'cover for me', Number two, 'oh, good idea, boss', Number three, 'it was like that when I got here.'
ThiS THRead is WorthLEss Without PIcs!!!
Enjoy the bost though!

Thanks guys
The Turbo is a TD04 off a Saab 9-3. Actually It is the same kit brandonson had on his car. I bought it from him. So I'm shooting for 13's!!!
I have an Aeromotive AFPR. If I crank the boost up a little should I change the base fuel pressure? Or let it go as long as the A/F is good?
I'll try to get a vid at the track. Last night I popped the hood and I guess I ran it a little too hard and the manifold was cherry red. I mean like... Glowing red. I let it cool off for about 5 minutes before I shut her down. It still ran fine this morning.
I am Addicted!!!
