Praise the lord. Order placed! [rockon]
You got the last one!

These are all gone, please add to the list of people interested. I might be motivated to have some more produced.

2. Sourskittle (I'll give you a wholesale discount to include with your turbo's if you want, just let me know how many you would need)

The issue is that I wanted to get them all in this batch. If others are going to wait for customer experience It will be too late. I might do another run around Feb/March, we will see!

Adam, can you tell me what benefit, if any, the Turbosmart Kompact Shortie BOV will have when paired with the WGA?

I want to change the BOV sound (I find the Boomba piece a bit crass) but I won't bother spending the $200+ unless I get better performance...

Edit: found THIS article, would still like input from Adam about adding both pieces to the car -

For those that are unaware, With Adam's E30 and 91 Octane Tunes I am still at 18 PSI at 6000 RPM with the REGULAR Turbosmart Wastegate.

Is this good? Sorry still learning about all this turbo stufff.

I regularly hitting between 21 and 25 psi on his 93 tune. Don't know what rpms though. Is that the important factor?

Yes because the stock turbo can't keep up as the rpms rise. Which is why when you see a stock turbo dyno graph the torque falls on its face after ~5000 rpms. If you have access port keep an eye on your boost pressure towards the top of the rpm range and you'll see it fall off

Good read. Looks like I need both a BOV and WGA.

Sign me up for a custom WGA, if you plan to make more [MENTION=3805]Tune+[/MENTION]!

Have a scroll to the bottom of that article and see who wrote it ;).

That is the initial testing I did with both units and have tested it further since then and made the necessary changes.
