B16 head
B16 tranny
ssautocrap mani....say what you want....im poor.
t3/t4 .57
P28 crome chipped.....untuned at the moment.

Nice. Did you port out the wastegate hole at all? There is a lot of leftover metal in there that gets in the way, and I think it is the cause of a lot of boost creep issues people have had with the SSAC manifold.
Since the B20 has more exhaust than a B18, I would be extra-careful about the wastegate.

Re: bye bye single cam (1boostedcivic)
i did notice the wastegate hole and i have to grind it out a little. i've already experienced the creep or spike if you will. with my boost controller turned all the way down i was still able to hit 14psi...only for a split second tho. im running off the wastegate spring now and im getting a good 8psi.
thanks for the props. im planning to run 10-11psi. my next purchase is a wideband which would be sometime after the 15th so until then its no boost.
i love this motor....tq is fun.

OEM goodness . I wondered why I ever wasted my time/money w/ the single slammers also when I switched out. Not bashing the D series Ninjas just my own personal preference is 2 cams and 1.8 liters

rolly: are you running a usdm washer fluid can or did you delete yours?
the new setup looks slick, i want to see what kind of numbers/times you put down with it this year.
what did you do with the Y8? sell the tranny or any of your spare Y8 trannies yet?
