I wouldn't recomend trying to max out that setup with that turbo.. You have a really nice setup it'd be a shame if you tore up your motor due to a ebay turbo compressor wheel desinegrating and going into your motor.. Get a good turbo, then crank that shit up!!!

Yes, i've recently tried to upgrade the boost. But only 18,59 psi came out! And the EBC is set 100% fixed duty cycle...

(strange?!) I'm looking for a real Garret T04e. So if anybody has 1, please do PM me. @
[email protected] No, stock sleeves.... I'm also having some problems with the engine. I've checked the compression etc.. everything is in good order! But he is spitting out all of his oil into the catchtank( at high rpms). Is this normal?! Edit, i'm using these plugs from B&R.

Remove that breather thats to the left of your oil filter that will be your problem. Preferably block them both back up and run two breathers from the front of the rocker cover.

nope he does not have to put them both back. My ENDYN breather kit came with the same two breathers which lead to the side of the can. There was a port in the bottom of the can which lead back to one of the two lines. Thus one of the lines was a "Y" allowing the oil to drain back into the engine. I ran my car like this for almost two years with no problems. If you do this and you are still breathing oil, then maybe you are getting blow-by or cracked a piston

8,7 psi spring, was thinking of using a 13,5 psi spring.

There are a few NA VX220s in the system but no Turbo ones. Perhaps someone like Thorney Motorsport can oblige and upload one for us as theyve surely done one.
