TheTacoMan's build, Turbo'd, mflare'd.

Update please :)

Last time I had a 4k rpm cutout was because it was so rich that it basically did the same thing as a rev limiter.

This typically is the CPS when there is too much gap, try loosening and keeping it as close to the trigger wheel as possible and tighten back up and see if it helps.

Ill try it

Car is now running, but it wont rev above 4k. It has a revlimiter, even with megsquirt set to no revlimited. Car runs really well, just has a damn revlimiter so low. Im trying to fix it right meow.

I believe it is a .63 a/r, it has a 2.75in inlet with a 2.5 outlet. Im going to go bigger, but for now this is fine.

Nice. Good luck! Keep us updated!

I ran an eBay turbo on my last build and it worked great for a year +

What size is it?

What kind of turbo are you running?

Ebay special :D. Turbo is very well put together and it actually a high quality piece. Has balance marks too.

It was either this or a used holset which I i don't trust used turbos.
If it breaks oh well, no loss it was cheap.

Wideband is wired, boost gauge is ready. Need some small stuff, like clamps, plugs, and some more vacuum lines etc. A buddy of mine who's running basically the same setup on a 2.7i hit full boost with this turbo at 2k. This is going to be insane.
Here's a pic of his car, its still in need of some stuff.

Mocked up the rest of the piping, looks like everything is going to work well.:D

[TheTacoMan]
