Great job! Just curious, have you done a cost comparison vs buying a prefabbed kit? As a fellow DIYer I know nothing can compare to the satisfaction and attention to detail you get when doing it yourself, and you did an outstanding job, but would you do it again or just buy a kit?
Beautiful welds, btw. I'm jealous...

I used a temporary boost gauge up and found that my max boost is only 7.5-8psi. It sure pulls harder than I thought though. I'm going to adjust the wastegate actuator rod and bring it to 10psi. Dyno tuning is on my list of things to do before New Year (hint hint). On a fun account, my friend with a built G35 using Greddy TT and Haltech EMS requested my help in retuning his car to run pump gas. I initially tuned it on E85 in October and it made a hefty 696whp @19psi. Today I tuned it for 11psi daily driving on pump 93 and we went for a little "spirited" drive. Not sure on numbers but it did put a smile on my face https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOXP...ature=youtu.be |

Here it is dyno tuned. 472whp & 421ft-lb @9psi
The combination of cold weather and worn out Michelin PSS gave me a hard time with traction on the rollers. 4th gear would not hook. I ended up having 2 of the guys sit on the trunk to give it traction. My impression on the result is exactly how I intended for the kit to deliver. Instant throttle response, high mid range torque with a feasible powerband. The .64 AR housings are showing their limitation as torque is ramping down on top end, and they are not meant to make peak power. I did wanted to increase boost a bit and hit 500whp but I did not have any boost controller setup. Overall the graph is smooth and shows no sign of hiccup. |

Installed Apexi AVC-R boost controller. My plan: boost by gear to maximize traction in all gear, or at least get it close enough to allow traction control to actually work. Boost by RPM function will fix boost fall out problem at top end. Mounted the controller using a vent phone holder. The controller goes into the glove box when I need it out of the way.
