(skip ahead to hear that turbo)
If your setup sounds anything like that, oh man, I'll be in love.

Had to order a new spring for the TiAL wastegate......
I guess she blew a gasket the other day..... too much boost.
The spring that comes w/ the wastegate is 1 bar (aprox 14psi) too much boost.
So I ordered a .4 and .5 to try for normal city driving, and a .7 for the track.

I've had Black Magic for the past few days while Knight Fire is in for some basic maintaince.
She'* only boosting 1-2psi because she'* not completely done yet, but you can still feel a little bit of power.
The turbo creates a huge amount of heat under the hood, infact the hood is really hot to the touch above the turbo even after a short drive.
But her growl is gone..... replaced by a 'whoose' of the turbo. She'* not even 1/3 as loud as she used to be.
