Hello Guest, welcome to the initial stages of our new platform!
You can find some additional information about where we are in the process of migrating the board and setting up our new software here
Thank you for being a part of our community!

My new shiny coil overs are not, but no Fs given by judge. They worked great BTW.
What diameter did you open up the WG hole to?
I dont remember. I could have gone a lot more than I did, but I got lazy because my compressor sucks. Certainly not as much as you recommended.
It is much louder than before, but wasn't ear bleeding. Still quieter than the Miatas.
We got done for sound again. Going to need a new strategy. 8(
Congrats on turning many laps & mostly not being parked with the hood up. You seemed to be mostly grinning. 8)

ATP did some porting and put a fat groove from the t3 flange and then rounded/tapered into the WG hole. I did something very similar, as did Harlard.
I think I have the 0.63 housing somewhere still. I see if I can find it and post some pics.
One issue it had, the WG flapper pivot started to wear and the flapper dropped slightly. This made it so the flapper wasn't covering the WG hole completely and it was slow to bewst. Soooo take that into account whenever I post the pics.
That's great to hear! I realized that my post with the pictures got removed when the forum got reset... so here ya go again.
Don't open up the WG hole this far, it will definitely limit your boost creep... and maximize the turbo response time!
Thanks.
Does the porting need to be more as you add more boost? It was rock solid at .8 bar, but I am going to try a 1 bar spring for the next race. Before porting on my other T04E and stock exhaust I would see boost creep to about 1 bar.
Usually less porting (or less WG) is what you need at higher boost levels.
The 27-28mm that you have is perfect. The 30.5mm that I ended up with is not what you want since the WG flapper wasn't sealing all the way around.
