oh ok cool wasn't sure. i think even said something about it. but hes got his MAF taped on with eltrical tape right now lol bc the 07+ intake pipe he ordered is on back order from tread stone bc they bought the turbonetics or something like that. but i was going to ask what did u average mpg or what did you get to a tank but thats a stupid question bc i bet there wasn't a day when u didn't have ur foot to the floor in that thing hahahhahah

yep i thought u would put two and two together. and i know alot of ppl thought i sold lewis kit but it just sat in my room for like a year hahahah but finally going for it just need a compression test to make sure my rings are good to go for boost and need new gaskets and maybe a manifol bc im worried about it cracking again and need somthing for the waste gate theres a ring that goes in it i think. ive seen one on a tial before but mine dosent have one for some reason. so im debating on just buying a tial waste gate but idk il see and also travis was just wondering how did lewis spin a rod bearing i remember B saying something about his WG line had a hole or came off his WG or something in that line and just hit to high of boost? but just wondering if u know what happened?
I don't recall the wg having a ring inside of it. And Louis spun a rod bearing trying to shift into 4th gear and mistakenly went into 2nd while he was trying to race some car. If your WG line comes off and you go into high boost without knowing, you are going to do a lot more than just spin a bearing...You will be picking up motor pieces off the ground...

I really couldnt say if a tial valve seal will fit a turbo concepts wastegate. I have my doubts that it will fit but not saying that it wont though. The tial valve seal ring fits a little tighter on the tial wastegate hence why you dont hear as many people lossing those, the turbo concepts seal ring is lose as crap and will fall off easily. they both (valve seal ring) look alike and seem to be the same size, your best bet however is just to go with a turbo concepts valve seal if you just want to use the turbo concepts wastegate. IMHO id use a Tial wastegate.

the spring isnt the issue at all...the issue with that wg is the fact that the diaphram inside is a pos n when it heates up after a couple of pulls it tappers down n starts acting stupid n wont open like its supposed to at all i never had this w.g. on my car but i can tell u for a fact that it does cuz i know 2 ppl with that issue n they jus went to tial...save urself the headache man sell it on craigs n get tial

if im not mistaken you cut dead center of the flange right through the bolt hole.

meh maybe extreme cold then....lol i would assume if your up north and u drive the car in the winter then when u stop that would cool down faster than normal causing excess stress on the mani? because i know here in the summer my car would take endless hours to cool down completely!!!
