As promised, here's some quick vids of my setup:
Ricer Flybys (note the jet sound. hehe)
Quick Walkthrough (check out my sweet boost gauge)
Also keep note, the vid is really low quality, so the sound isn't the best. I plan on putting a Hushpower II resonator on the car sometime next week to quiet down the exhaust more. Enjoy.

Most of the noise is due to the crappy camera. Yes, Woodward will be an event this year for J-BOM. Stay tuned for the official announcement.

The sparkplug is actually my wideband o2 sensor. Since I don't have a cat and the exhaust before the turbo is high pressure which throws off the lambda reading, you gotta put it near the end of the exhaust stream.
Flames will never happen.

Not at all. The entire turbo assembly and oil assembly is above the height of my exhaust pipe near the bottom of the gas tank. Therefore, I still have all the height I did when I had the car naturally aspirated.

Seriously, I need it badly. ASAP. Bring it to the gathering on Friday if you can. PLEASE!!!!
With that, I just wanted to say that I probably boosted my car to about 10-12psi tonight. Holy mother of GOD was it fast. Thankfully, I have the GM s/c program on my car still. My a/f and knock alarms didn't go off during the boost spike, so that's good. I still probably shaved a decent amount of mileage off of my car during that run.
I managed to hit such high boost by disconnecting the wastegate charge line. This suggests that my low boost situation is attributed to the wastegate. Since the gate is hooked up directly to the turbo comp housing for a boost sense line (rear of the car) and the boost gauge is hooked up directly to the intake manifold (front of the car), there's definitely a big difference in boost pressure between the two. I'm thinking the wastegate is doing it's job and opening at 6psi (which again, is read at the turbocharger itself). However, at that point, I'm only seeing about 2-3psi at the front of the car. Due to this, I probably need a stronger wastegate spring to up the boost.
JEREMY!! PLEASE bring the spring to our gathering on Friday!!!!
I'll have in-car vids and hopefullly dyno and track times within the very near future....
I honestly cannot express how I feel right now. The fact that the system is working properly and there's a very small effect on power (according to the butt dyno that is) leaves me speechless. I was thinking I had a very good chance of this entire project falling flat on it's face due to the fact that the turbocharger wouldn't be able to spin fast enough.
I've proven that wrong tonight!!!
Once again, thank you all for your comments and complements.
