well i hope to see you get good results with this new setup. i saw somewhereon youtube, a puerto rican guy had e kl in a 323, with ITB, that monster sounded like a street bike.. when i come across that vid i'll post it so you can see what all can be accomplished with those toys..
Haha yes Leos car is legendary, I'm a long way off that!

Haha yea the videos were taken when I first got it on, I was troubleshooting boost leaks in those runs, I think I put that in the description on youtube. Megasquirt logs showed about 5psi was the highest it went with that setup. I later found out I still had boost leaks. I still plan to weld up a new outlet (where I lost alot of boost) and try it again. I got a TIG welder a few months ago so no more porous cheapo MIG welds
As for why the changed of heart, I actually have no good reason. I'm very notionable, I see these cool things and I wan't to make it. It's like my adult substitute for Lego, I like building these things! I still have all the SC gear, I haven't brought myself to part with it, it still interests me. I also have turbo hot pipes sitting in the garage too, I just see good deals and grab them when I can, now I don't know what to be at
