I don’t think the disparity between good and ghetto fabrication is any more apparent then under your hood. It amazes me that you got any boost from that setup without parts of it scattering to the wind over a 1000m radius. Start all over and do it right. ---

Yes there is more sence of pride if you do everything your self. But I don’t see where the pride is if your car isn’t working right all the time. I did what ever I could do my self during my swap, anything else I didn’t know how to do or I wasn’t sure of I left it up to the guys at Nizztex and I had no problems at all other then a Megan racing turbo manifold with a manufacturer difect that $40.00 at the machine shop fixed. (Actually I wont lie the turbo manifold job was a pain in the ass labour wise :lol: ) Anyway, the point is spend a few dollars and get it done right dude. ---

I am spending a few dollars. On a proper wastegate. It’s not worth the extra effort in making a valve seat for this HKS unit. And I will ALWAYS continue doing things by myself. ---
