After looking at some of the results others have gotten with similar mods to mine, I'm pretty convinced there's more power to be obtained up top on my current set-up. For reference (and most recent dyno pulls):

E85 Tuned
AP short ram intake
AGP hard pipes
AGP DBE exhaust
Hallman Pro MBC
AUS 1000cc injectors
Walbro 255lph HP FP
Prosport Boost Gauge
AEM Wideband
Stock WGA tightened all the way down


Boost is at 27 psi peak and tapers to 18psi @ redline (sorry, no boost curve).

My hp curve doesn't have the typical peak I see around 5500 on similar setups still on the stock turbo. I suspect there's more boost to be obtained around that mark. It's possible it could be in the tuning, but I'm not convinced. So here's what I'm considering:

1. Ditch the MBC and use a 3-port solenoid, retune
2. Ditch the stock WGA and use a 19psi WGA
3. AMS Downpipe (most expensive option)
4. Try another tuner

I'm leaning heavily towards option 1, maybe option 2 in addition to or instead. I'm not too crazy about option 3 due to the money and the PITA install. 4 is always an option, but I have no real complaints about my tuner and I really like him (I know, friends and business don't mix :().

Since I installed the Agency Power GT35R turbo kit, I'm hearing this ticking sound.

The fast ticking sound can be heard continuously only when in boost around 5500RPM till redline. We checked for the possibility of exhaust leaks everywhere but all bolts are tight. Also checked the exhaust shields and ensured that they were not coming into contact with anything.

What could this possibly be??

I called agency power and they could not confirm if this is normal or not.

Can anyone suggest, advise me on what this could be?

Wanted to know anyones opinions on the best clutch for 400-450hp. I'm planning on purchasing an ETS turbo kit with the GT3076R.

I was looking at the ACT Xtreme Duty clutch, Clutch Masters Stage 3, and Exedy Twin clutch.

Both ACT and Clutch Masters are really affordable.

Looing for suggestions based on personal experience (not hear-say).

Thanks :) ]]> Evo X Engine / Turbo / Drivetrain Clue4488 http://forums.evolutionm.net/evo-x-engine-turbo-drivetrain/458874-best-clutch-400-450hp.html http://forums.evolutionm.net/evo-x-engine-turbo-drivetrain/458792-invidia-q300-cat-back.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 12:02:06 GMT Figured I'd post here as well :)

The inside of the tips is already pitch black! And it's been like 2 days :confused:
Gotta love the adjustability of the tips though - wouldn't be able to line them up perfectly otherwise.

Here is the vid! Youtube messed with quality of course, so some parts are blurry. Enjoy!

We are working on a custom exhaust for a customer. We plan on bringing this exhaust system to market in 3.0" and 3.5" I will update the thread with some off the car pictures shortly. {thumbup}
