Thanks. I'm getting pretty pumped. Thinking it's going to be laggy though. I guess I'll find out soon enough.

Just get a boost controller and it won't be so laggy. Mine was laggy with the S475 but not anymore.

I'm running 7 pound springs and going to run on gate only. I've got an avcr for a boost controller. I like to set the spring to minimum usually so I don't really need a boost controller for such low boost. I'll add it later when it's running reliably.

I used to do this professionally. Still sort of do on the side. The stock market collapse really took the wind out of the luxury items market and it was either I start my own shop or get a real job.

The software industry has treated me better to say the least.

If anyone is wondering why I put the drain 10 an fitting so low it's because it's a pain in the *** to tighten a nut that needs a 1" wrench between 2 housings. I strongly suggest doing this on any turbo setup. Took me a few years to figure that one out lol.
