Ok, so its not loose anymore and something in the turbo is definitely rattling. I'm going to try not to lose my mind until tomorrow when I have daylight to thoroughly check things over.

It def makes boosts, I can assure you of this
AFRs are excessive right now, running as high as 10.5:1 so that needs to be sorted but I need to get this rattle crap figured out. Its very much grating on my nerves.
I also swapped out the turbosmart recirc valve for the stock BW one and it has a much more civilized sound. Less sharp *** 'CHARF!' racecar noise and more rubbery kinda 'foooooop' noise. Much more tolerable.

Needs more CHOO CHOO MUTHAFUCKA!
I'll put the turbosmart back on for trackdays, so everyone will know when I lift rather than rear end them. Might help with point bys

eh, with properly tuned boost I find myself almost never ever looking at the boost gauge
I didn't even bother with one in the MSM, and once your car is properly fast you won't even look at them at all cause eyes will be glued to road due to butt puckering warp speed
1st to 2nd shift is almost always done by sound/feel cause you're likely to smack the limiter hard if you don't shift immediately.

It needs to pierce the ears of those unsuspecting poor souls called normal people
Loving all of this G, and the FMIC is looking GREAT! Your exhaust is the 'quiet' magnaflowmaster 3" offset in/out correct?
When can we expect a videooooo? I'd be happy to just hear efr spoolz & slow driving around the neighborhood

Check that, I thought I could spin the SDrives because they were done. Did the same to the new ones this morning. On the upside the car has power and tires are consistent down to the very last. On the downside, they're not 200tw Rival-y goodness. Not the tires I'd want in a lighter car with twice the power. On a side note, Rivals probably aren't a good daily either, stick with the RS-3.
