yup, who knows… If I keep breaking axels, you’ll be “finished” before me. 
luckily mine are fairly new, i’m sure ill have to replace them sooner or later.
Mine only had ~150 miles on both. I broke 2 in 2 weeks about a week before I took the car off the road for the swap.
Now, I maybe have 100 miles since the swap and the axle fell apart… more because i didn’t check to make sure it was tight.
New one is going in today along with my UEGO that came in the mail.
Going back to Moon Performance in the morning with a couple other guys from up here. I’ll post the results. I’m hoping for around 400whp at 20psi.
good luck man.
327whp and 343wtq. I was expecting more, but I know the car is stupid and its just an approximation and never exact. Not quite sure what the boost level was; dyno said 26 but the boost gauge said 20…

The scales are pretty hard to see, but you get the idea. The “lower” of each set of colors (2 Blue, 2 Red) is the first dyno at 6psi which made 225whp.
thats not bad. FYI, if your boost gauge said 20, the dynos said 26, it sounds like you have a boost gauge leak or something.
what a “relief” hole in the boost controller??
I made a boost controller. In order for it to work properly, there is a relief hole on the side so that only partial pressure goes into the top of the wastegate. Google boost controller DIY and they explain it better.
Anyone have hard facts that a Mustang Dyno reads low?
thats pretty good for moon. that dyno is a heart breaker. excited to have multiple vrt’s out this year.
:ohnoes:ohnoes
It would have been nice to see higher numbers, but when it comes down to it; They are just numbers. I know its fast and I know even with a LSD I have traction problems in 3rd. I’m happy with the car, so it’s all good. Maybe I’ll try Synapse for another couple pulls.
I would say I was around last year with a VRT, but 6psi isn’t really anything to brag about.
Nice deal man… if the car moves out thats all that matters… Dyno numbers are for bench racers anyway. As i go and schedule some dyno time myself. lol
What about the vent hole? I made the same boost controller myself. I didnt do any vent hole or anything. Just attached the ball/seat side of the gauge to the charge pipe just out of the turbo, then the side exit of the boost controller to the wastegate port. Thats it. I even went the extra mile and stuck a little oring on the seat side to seal the ball better.
What springwire size did you use? mine is .13 dia wire and I get nice adjustment from 10-26lbs with accuracy. mine doesnt seem to surge or anything. The only thing I can think the little vent hole does is help with some surging maybe?
why don’t you get a hallmann or something of the like?
Anything over $8.52 is too expensive for a boost controller. I’d rather jus get the right spring in the wastegate.
Boost controllers, at least most, are designed for less than double the spring rating. I’m using a 6psi spring to make 20psi.
The relief hole allows for the top of the wastegate to not equalize with the boost line pressure. I don’t care how it’s made, everything temperature and pressure wise will continuously try to be at equalibrium. If there is a way that it can’t occur, it won’t. If there is a way for it to, it will. I’m not saying that boost controllers without a relief don’t work. There has to be some other method of purging the output of the controller to be able to hold a constant pressure without creating an overboost scenario.
ehh maybe, but its just something I personally wouldn’t cheap out on.
but other than that looks great, that mustang dyno infact does read low, your probably closer to a 400 mark on a dynojet FWIW
I hear ya. I wasn’t going to spend any more than I had to to make boost becuase I want to just run a spring, or an MBC and a 16 lb spring.
Technically, Mustang dyno’s are as accurate as any other dyno. It’s all in how it’s set up, what inputs are used, etc. Because Mustang Dyno’s have more inputs that any other dyno it’s very hard to keep them accurately measuring each and every car.
Whether it uses a strain gauge (Mustang) or inertia based calculations (dynojet) they all read accurately. I wouldn’t say that my numbers aren’t low (I feel they are) but that doesn’t mean that Dynojet is any better, they could read high, low, dead on etc.
I knwo what you were trying to say, but there is no way to infactically say that Moon’s Dyno reads low because you are going off of another approximation used on another dyno. Na Mean?
in all honesty i don’t care what a car makes… it could make 200,300, 1000, but aslong if the mph is good then thats what i’m interested in.
trap speed>
bring to to synapse come summer time.
you’ll have them Sunday. Napierville Drag way opens Sunday.
moon is 100% a heart breaker… if it made much up there then it would make 20 whp more on morgan’s dyno… great numbers
