Hey mate,

congrats first on getting the car back and working out the issue of the boost drop

do you think this would still happen on the .86 models of the same turbo's with IWG? Reason I ask is if I eventually get my GTM kit, these are the turbo's I will have and eventually up the boost over 10-11psi once I upgrade to an e85 compatible system.

I also missed which GFB product you have, is it the newer style G-force II? I've got the same one but haven't really seen any reviews of it yet.

I have the .86 housings, so yes it will happen, but not at low boost. I can easily
hold 10-12psi to redline without issue, beyond that on the internal WG's you will see a drop, stock block I wouldn't worry about it, you shouldn't be running more than ~14psi even on e85. These actuators only cost $65 a piece though so it might not be a bad idea to install them with the kit, you can still run as low as 7-8psi.

I'm using the new gfb g-force ii model, it works great, really like this unit very simple to use. I just wish it had boost by speed/gear.
