Thanks for taking the time to put this write up together!
yea your correct cam is advanced now.
I adjusted cam timing by moving a tooth to the left, installed a .63 turbine housing, opened wastegate port a bit, installed gillis valve. Power comes on quite a bit earlier now and does not pull as...
That makes sense. Thanks for the help!
I am not sure of trans I am thinking it is 86 SVO but not positive. rear end is 4:11 and cam probably pulls to 7500 or so I am guessing if rev limiter was removed.
I think I am going to have wastegate hole enlarged to 26mm or so. Based on my engine mods should I keep the .48 turbine or change to a .62 that I have?

If I leave flapper as is 28mm I figure I can open up port to ~26mm and it is currently ~22.5 so that would be roughly 34% increase in area. Does that seem like it would be enough to help or should...

I installed another stock turbo and have the exhaust not attached tied to k-member so the exhaust is exiting the elbow. Flapper door is zip tied open and car makes 18psi at roughly 5200 rpm. Seems...
This is not entirely accurate. Overboosting is a new phenomenon after a number of parts were changed for different reasons. I do not recall it occurring previously with original turbo that came on...
Yea started with eliminating BCS by running line directly from compressor to wastegate. Then removed compressor t-fitting and was able to blow air through it. Replaced the t-fitting for the heck of...
There are no obstructions nor gasket material. Elbow is clear. I am considering putting the original turbo back on and perhaps opening wastegate opening in the turbine until the flapper doors just...
The turbo that came on the car has a .48 exhaust housing part number on turbine is E5ZZ-9G438-D Compressor has M11 stamping
Latest turbo on the car overboosting has a .48 exhaust housing part...
I do not but as far as I know it is a stock water cooled SVO turbo. I will look into this next. Thanks
It seems to boost normal and goes to 18 psi or so before I back out of throttle. The wastegate is zip tied wide open. So what in the heck is going on?
With the wastegate wide open the boost is spooling practicaly like you would normally expect and the boost buzzer is going off at ~18psi. Is there any chance the dual flowmasters that were installed...
I would have to disagree. I think they are more of a Coquelicot.
This is my SVO with BBS wheels similar to the ASA you linked. 3276
I used 39173 for interior panels and match is pretty good.
Wow the rear quarter is quite tweaked as is the rear axle. I would be surprised if it would make sense to repair. You might consider parting out.

Aah great idea. I'll try that when we get good weather here again on a weekend.
I have 3 stock actuators around and one of the actuators I tried would not hold pressure and failed as you mentioned so when i pumped air in I could hear it escaping and the gauge would not hold...
