    Stock block turbo guys?

    on a stock bottom end you dont want any more than 8 psi. i saw a friend had something around 12-14 psi on a stock bottom end and blew a connecting rod through his block. other guys i have talked to at shows say no more than 8 psi on a stock bottom also.

    Hesitation and lack of power when cold

    something you might want to try is a spacer on your intake. i dont know if it will change with the u/d pulleys or not. i live in virginia and even in 90* days my car only runs @ 190 max. thats sitting still. while driving it comes down to 180 or so.

    High Torque Mini Starter Question

    sounds like you have it wired up right. i just changed mine back to stock. i had the hardest time getting it to match right with the flywheel. the stock doesnt bind or grind like the mini did. if its grinding you need to pull it out to make sure youre not tearing up your flywheel. it could also...
