Wasted spark is done and is working really well. I took the beast for a short drive and it no longer blows spark at 17PSI. I noticed the car is really smooth to drive and the power is even more instant and seems I gained more torque car is a torque monster. I almost made it to the track today but I ran out of tuning time...Its half way tuned right now. Still needs a lot more time to build a good smooth VE table and back to the dyno for more spark and more boost!!
So took a couple of pics and my 4 year old took a pic of me so you can see who I am :) more power coming real soon. I'm aiming for 1st of september for Drag racing..of course some videos.

looks good, you should clean up and heat wrap some of those wires near the downpipe, I've melted quite a few there even when they are a good 5" away. I wrap mine in the fiberglass spark plug boost protectors. also if you wanted it looks like your turbo is meant to be water cooled so I would run the coolant lines to that, is it a journal bearing turbo?
also in second picture maybe its my screen having issues but whats that square on your hood?

I got to order some downpipe wraps,turbo blanket too as the underhood is very hot. yeap it is a journal bearing turbo but dont know if I would bother with water lines I always let it cool down...car never gets driven anyways...it will become a weekend only drag race car, the vert will be my DD.
Yeah the scares you dont see them very well but they are heat extractors they are meshed and I cut them so that flow will come out of them as I drive. I also want to remove the high beams to get more fresh air inside the hood to cool down more.
But my next big mod will be water/meth as with 91 octane and 124 degree farenheit MAT I think its time.

120 degree intake temp is actually pretty good, I'm surprised its not hotter with twincharged setup. On higher boost I run the same temp with meth in the summer time. On cooler temp days its around ambient.
No one makes this car anymore. The government won't allow them, normal people won't buy them. So it's up to us: the freaks, the weirdos, the informed. To buy them, to appreciate them, and most importantly, to drive them.
Nice work! that engine bay is crazy with stuff going allover, but its awesome that you got it figured out!
What diff do you have in the rear end now?
Yeah! my engine bay is quite interesting...the people that have seen it are like holy sh*t is this what I think it is...LOL.... I know its crazy but I need variety in my life or else I get bored... like one of my favorite bands Hatebreed " If you dont live for something ....then you will die for nothing!" "Live for this"
I got a 3.73 LSD in the rear...

It's one of these. Upper timing cover for the early M20 that has a conventional distributor on the side of the block. This is not my pic but mine looks the same. PM me if you want it and i'll send it to you.
