everything ending up great. I tuned the car last night at 5psi boost on 87 octane for now. It is pulling great. (it was also -6 last night so im sure that helps with the fmic getting chilled thoroughly)
one thing i have noticed is that spool is nowhere near as nice as with the t25r on a 2.0l FSDE. One thing I loved with the FSDET is that when you are cruising in say 4th or 5th and give just a little throttle the turbo would spool so quickly it was almost like n/a power delivery. With the 1.8 on the non BB turbo you have to put your foot down a little bit more than I was expecting. Its not HUGE lag, but it is lag compared to the stock MSP FSDET setup.
Now I know why the GTX came with the vj-20. For DD it is more responsive than the T25.
Either way I am very happy with how the car pulls at 5psi. Now I need those 550s and will tune for 14psi on 94 octane.
once i get a set of 550 injectors i will go to the dyno.
thanks for all the comments!
