I think I might be there!

At 300RWHP, that is.

Today, I installed a 14cm nonwastegated housing that I had HDM48 port for me. Along with that, I got rid of my stock down pipe and horribly crimped piece leading to the muffler (it was about a 2 1/2" in all the bends). I am now running 3 1/2" rurbo back.

After getting everything nice and warm, I took it out on a nice little stretch of road and ogt on it. All I can say is

. I can now officially use ALL of my 40psi boost gauge. Best part is it gets there fast and clears the smoke up just as quick. When I get on it and stay in it, EGTs can get a little toasty (saw up to 1350) but by then, I'm going too fast anyway and need to back out of the throttle anyway.
