    "when it shifts gears" so does that imply that you are running an automatic? just curious.

    I'll confirm it too... <img src="http://vvti.net/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Smile" /><br />
    <br />
    <br />
    And yes, I've been passively trying to blow my motor for a few months, lol.... <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    --- <br />
    <br />
    5psi default spring in the wastegate<br />
    10psi low boost setting (daily driven)<br />
    15psi high boost setting (rock this quite a bit actually, lol)<br />
    <br />
    stock clutch gives at 8.5psi -- doesnt always slip but is prone to slip I've actually had mine hold through 10.5psi then it just said ' see ya! ' still waiting to see when i'm gonna hurt this motor... hehe gotta watch myself tho, it'll prolly happen now that i posted about it. <br />
    <br />
    ---<br />
    <br />
    I don't recommend running the stafford kit (which i believe isn't available anymore) over 6.5psi w/o ripping out that fucked fuel system of theirs and replacing it properly with an upgraded fuel pump, 550cc injectors and an emanage. <br />
    <br />
    Mine was a custom setup by Spool Turbo (which doesnt exist anymore) that I actually re-engineered earlier this year to a different design on the manifold &amp; downpipe (much better than before) and I haven't had a single problem (other than i blew my pipes apart once (at the silicon connectors) or twice... hehe but those were easy fixes. I've run this setup on 2 seperate corolla's and had the same results - no issues.<br />
    <br />
    *shrug* there's my 2 cents

    No offense but don' go lookin for a turbo kit when you don't have the $$$... No sense in having debt and plus you need more $$$ for any problems down the line etc etc etc...

    yeah Spool went away - not any fault of theirs, think their funding got pulled... kinda lame --- that kit woulda been the best one out on the market... mine went in and still operates flawless (exception to the downpipe and manifold -- those are my design now). <br />
    <br />
    yeah i had a bunch of stuff lined up last year until my 98 got creamed at a light... dumbass blew through it and nearly killed me. That set me back at least 6mo to a year on the motor build. At least I'm almost to where I was before. Mechanically I'm at 125% of where I was before, body styling i'm at about 25% --- doesnt really matter tho, i'm just kinda moving along at a steady pace...
