Nucor sponsored something? I toured one of their steel mills up here in CT since I design the bits the go in the steel mills and hadnt seem the stuff I make in real life yet (which means none of the stuff I've designed has sucked so badly I had to go out into the field and make it work). They seem like one of those corporations that libertarians wished all corporations were like.

I need to get pictures and videos now. I just got it running on boost. It's around 7-8 psi of boost on wastegate, then I'm ordering an EBC solenoid to turn it up. It's definitely building boost around 2500 rpm, but I don't have a datalog yet to see where the boost threshold actually is.

First autocross with boost. It's just an unofficial school autocross, so I don't get screwed on classing or anything. It was totally reliable! I was happy to see that everything stayed in check, it didn't overheat, boost was nice and responsive.
I still need a datalog to prove the spool, but the boost threshold is right around 1800-1900 rpm, and it reaches a full 162 kpa by around 3100 rpm. This is with EBC.

I have around 3500 mile on boost now, and I have a boost leak.. I'm down to around 6 psi.
I also picked up an MS3/MS3x today, so I'll be building a harness for that soon.
I now have Singular Motorsports hood louvers!

I also have a virtual dyno graph when I was at like 7.5 psi of boost (this was after the boost leak started). This was also early in the tuning stages, and was running rich at higher rpm.

Finally, I have video!

I ran a DIYPNP for 2 years before I turbocharged. Then was turbocharged with DIYPNP for 2 years. Now got rid of the turbo and am running a MS3+MS3x. Next year will be an LS1 running MS3+MS3x.
