I've been running a Godspeed one for about a year, shows some wear but still works fine. I think I got it for like $35 or something crazy cheap when they were running a special on Zilvia.

Minor setback: wastegate diaphragm has pinhole leaks in it. I put the 15 psi spring in and wastegate wouldn't open. 5 psi spring works fine, I think it's not enough pressure to push through the pinholes but the higher pressure makes the air open up the holes and not open the gate. Hopefully I can ge...

I'm sure it's the 90* that it's welded on to that is causing the spike, but as long as it doesn't creep I'm fine with the 2psi over. Logs show I hit 235 kpa, so a little under 20 psi. I'll ...

Street tuned today, 16psi wg spring spikes to 20 psi then settles at 18 psi. I've had three different springs in there and they all consistently give me 2 psi over the rating, I just didn't expect a 20 psi spike. I'll put a 15 psi spring in and see what happens. Reliability is my main focus, I don't...

A friend of mine did it, I'm pretty sure he's on here as silviaks2nr. It's a process called hydrodipping, basically you lay a film on water and whatever you dip through it will transfer the pattern. Here's a woodgrain valve cover he did. http://img840.imageshack.us/img840/157/20120417165317919.jpg

Woah, the plating looks boss! You should blast the pulleys and plate them too!

Are the OBX pulleys underdriven at all? In the near future I plan on underdriving my PS and water pump. Build looks awesome so far, awesome attention to detail.

I'm running a totally stock head. When I had my ROM tune the rev limit was 7300rpm, with MS my limiter is 6300 soft limit at 6500 hard limit.

Yeah, I'm sure there's a factor of safety in the 50 psi limit, I wonder what it is. If I get bored I might give Earl's a call and see why the rating is so low and if it's ok to be over 50psi as long as it's not continuous.

Cool. I figured only running one washer under each bracket wouldn't matter, and the injectors are seated much more firmly. I'll post some pictures in my thread once it's all together!

Nice find Chris. Use a legit tube cutter and there will be no flaring necessary, right? Correct. There's a small piece inside the two halves that essentially flares and seals the stock line as you tighten it. I just noticed these are only rated up to 50psi though, not sure how much a regular 37° fl...

Don't drift on the street, not only is it dumb but you'll hit a curb and nobody likes that. If you can't get to a track, at least find a huge parking lot with nothing around. Turn the wheel to full lock in 1st gear and do very slow circles. Once you feel comfortable push in the clutch for a second, ...

I couldn't be happier with MS. Like what's been said, kPa is an easy unit to work in, and with the way TS is setup with 100% fuel load being 101.3 kPa it makes it very easy figure out where you are in the map. I don't see how injector percentage would be an issue, once you configure your injector se...
