If any one has any questions that they can't seem to answer, feel free to drop me a note at mntepnr@sympatico.ca. I done the conversion last fall and all has been great for about a year now.

Tim Grechin Senior Member, with Far TOO Much Time on Their Hands Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 4,264 GTA	I would suggest even less boost. 6 to 7psi at most. Lenthen the wastegate arm a little bit so it opens sooner. Very hard to do properly, but goodluck. 11.254@132.14MPH - Tractionally impaired

I put new oil pump gears, rebuilt the tranny, and removed my b-shafts before the conversion, and have 30000km's on conversion with no problems and compression above 195psi dry still.
