DA BUILD!! WHAT DO YOU THINK!?
1992 Integra LS B18A1 and YS1 Cable trans roughly 100k on them.
misc: lowered on 2 piece coilovers, megan racing rear lower tie bar, SI wheels painted bronze, new black paint (MAACO), and misc audio equipment
Here's what I got going on:
Stock B18A1 bottom end
SMALL T3/T4 turbocharger
InlinePro piston style blow off valve
Emusa 38mm wastegate
Stainless turbo manifold
PNP'd B20 head with supertech valve train and dome valves.
Walbro 255 lph fuel pump
Pretty small FMIC
2" aluminum charge piping
2.5" downpipe to 2.5" stainless exhaust wall the way back
Ball and spring MBC
Autometer Phantom boost gauge
ARP Head studs
81 mm Cometic head gasket
MSD Distributor cap and external blaster 2
NGK BKR7E's
Nice shiny half-sized civic radiator, slim fan, and aftermarket coolant reservoir
I have DSM 450's, an obd1 map sensor..... I PLAN TO GO TO HIGH-IMPEDANCE, A 3 BAR MAP SENSOR, AND RETUNE (CROME OR NEPTUNE) TO 12-13 PSI
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS???

Caps lock.... Its not needed
The ebay wastegaye could be an issue. A lot of times the diaphragm is made of sub-standard material and fails after repeated heat cycles but on the same hand some have good luck
If you're dead set on using an ebay wastegate, take it apart and go through it making sure everything is securely fastened (I like to use threadlocker personally) and that the diaphragm is kink free and seats without issue.
Also skip the maaco paint job... they don't do the best prep work (which is 90% of a paint job) and the materials they use aren't great either. Their single stage jobs (most of them) prematurely fade, chip, etc.
You'll end up having to redo the cars finish a lot sooner than you'll think. At a much larger expense than tue first attempt. Pay a little bit more and do it right the first time, or spend even more time ajd money doing it twice. (This applies to ebay parts as well)
