Lets make some guesses!!

Joel, I think its the airflow over the radiator more than anything. I'm probably at half the fan CFM of the stock setup with the thin fans I'm running. The na motor had the same water pump and never even ran over 200*.

Jon, I do plan to get back on the dunk once I set the boost, just to get some numbers and have some fun. Gotta get it fixed first.

Sean,

You are gonna crush those numbers judging by the way you only put 13lbs down w/ 660 numbers. My only thing is how in gods name you gonna run 23-25lbs of on straight 93 octane. Anything over 18lbs is pretty risky.

As for the sabatoge thing, been there done that and I know you've got to be livid about that. Straight bullshit right there and pissed off for you. That crap gave me flashbacks. Now as for injectors blowing the fuse, that's interesting and has given me something else to look at as I only looked at the XIM fuse that blew multiple times. I'll let ya know how that turns out.

And sorry about the ramp. That's just weird right there.

All I know is, nothing NEVER goes as planned. Life would be too easy if that were the case.

Sounds like a stressful day but I thought the story was goin to be way worse based on your after dyno initial post. Best to put what you can behind you and get the car squared away. Sounds like you are real close so I bet next time will be much more rewarding.

omg cant wit too see final numbers!

I didn't mean to mislead anyone or anything. I was just in a really foul mood when I got home and didn't want to rehash any of it.

Forgot a couple of things. We blew the coupler off the tb, first time ever, and when the car came off the dyno, we found a header bolt, and another was loose. No leaks, but WTF?

Ok, update. Pulled the trigger on one of the highly recommended on the "other" site Derale 16925 12" pusher fans and a bottle of water wetter. Plan is to first check the derale for fitment into the stock shroud. If it fits on the drivers side, then I'll probably order a puller and replace one of the crappy fans I have. But worst case, I'm going to have the pusher on the a/c condenser pushing air through it and the radiator, and will add a second if the one doesn't do the trick. I AM expecting an improvement off of the one fan, they move a legit 2200 CFM of air.

Oh, and my valve seat for my wastegate went out today.

Hopefully, I'll be doing a LOT of tinkering this weekend. If it doesn't rain, like it usually does when I have a day off.

What kind of radiator do you have?

Glad Frank took care of you. He's a good guy.

With the injector fuses going and stereo not working, maybe something is shorting out? Kind of weird that those fuses would go, both of them yet. Check the fuse on the head unit, if it's aftermarket and has one.

Joel, I'm running a Meziere.

I'm most down about the missing part that was taken off of the car. That really has me bothered. It's fixable, but someone screwed with the car at some point.

I just gotta get the bugs worked, the boost under control again, and get back on the rollers to verify the tune.

My CSI/CSR pump was taking a dump on me. I decided to try the CVR HD pump from Summit. It is rated at 55 gpm while the CSI/CSR is in the mid 30s. IT really moves the water. The down side it that it is a good 3/4"-1" taller that the CSR unit. The impeller is huge.

I ran it around all day last Saturday in 90 degree heat and it never got over 170. The needle hardly moved off of 160. That is with no front air damn under the car and 70 mph runs down the high for 30 miles at a time.

You don't have a big turbo and a ton of hot piping in the engine bay either as well as a intercooler stealing airflow from the radiator. My issue is airflow and heat soak related. Got new Derale pullers going in this weekend though, should solve the problem.

Just throwing it out there incase you need more flow. I know people have had issues with the low rate of flow at highway speeds but now there are other options.
