Ok, my SP58 budget went in on friday night. From start to finish it took 9 hours (stock removal and budget install went about 50/50 timewise no egcv bolt problems!). The only problems we had on the install were the wrong size bolts included to match up the downpipe to the turbo (too short) but luckily we had some laying around and we had to do some slight cutting to get my greddy 3row pipe to match up to the sp pipe. We also had to cut the AIC bypass pipe, but its always better to have something too long than too short
it may even be long intentionally. Everything else with the kit fit very well and looks really good.
Now my problem after install is I have an overboost. running with my boost controller off, my boost is going as high as 21psi. I have stock fuel throughout, and no means to adjust my afr yet so this is not the best of situations. After the first couple of times it happened I have stayed away from WOT to keep the pressure from getting too high and risking running lean. I think larry told me I could safely push 18 psi and I had planned on sticking to that as a high setting and 16 as a low setting at least until I got some afr control. We ahve tried wastegate adjustment and set it as low as it could go to no avail. I know I could possible have a boost leak, but I did not have any problems before the install and I was wondering if there was anything I missed on the install that would cause this. Larry had said the wg setting was 15, so I was expecting non-controlled boost to max out at 15.
I also have some high rpm misfire, but that probably just means I have to gap my plugs down more. right now I have the NGK 6097s with the .32 gap.
Any help would be appreciated and if anybody has any questions about how the install went or any other specific type questions, I would be happy to answer them.
Larry, it's a great kit, and I am now the envy of the others in my club, thanks!
