Paxton + goodies

Thanks guys. I am looking forward to it.

As far as boost I am going to play with some different settings.

As of right now there is a 6lb spring on the wastegate to make sure it works. Then I will do the 9lb spring to make sure it still functions with more boost and then end on the 10lb spring with the 11lb spring for race gas

Why don't you hook up a boost controller?

Nice. Eager to see results.

pretty cool. I want to see the results also!

any updates?

Yup, I got everything back together. It has been raining so testing has been hard. On the 6.8lb spring boost came on a lot sooner. I was seeing 5-7psi at 4-4.5k rpm. I have the 10.6 setup in now. Man the TIAL Q sounds sexy!!!


I'm having an issue with my charge pipe blowing off. The boost came on fast with the 10.6 spring and it popped off the drive side pipe. Even with hairspray and cranked down...TBolt clamps here I come I guess.

It feels much more eager to go too. I think the smaller pulley helps the car get more air moving per RPM much better and the car doesn't feel lazy (that's not the best word to use but the car feels eager to go and rip now)

Any photos of the wastegate setup? Thinking of trying to source a tube and wastegate, have it dabbed up then forwarded to me here in Germany.

Looking forward to seeing your results.

i ordered a longer coupler and added tbolt clamps

looking forward to your review.

dunno if you've tried wd40, but I hear it works even better than hairspray

The coupler that was in the instructions on the driver side was not the same i received in the kit, mine is Vortech though.

I ended up emailing Vortech and they attempted to send another, but sent the wrong size all together. Try emailing Paxton, maybe they can get it right.

Edit: added a pic from the manual. They show a bump style coupler, but I received a normal one that was probably 2" long.
