I just wanted to post the pic of what was happening with the Wastegate. One night, while boosting, It seemed like the wastegate wasn't opening. We took it apart to see a little corrosion inside. Not much, as you can see. But apparently some of the methanol has left traces here. I wonder if that little bit could cause the wastegate to stick....? It seems unlikely, but after cleaning it off, the problem stopped....???

Here is the new turbo set up. The MoTeC automatically tuned for the new turbo based on the lambda map, but the base fuel map needed to be changed. It was actually a pretty short process. Seems that the fuel system is more than maxed out though. So now I am on the hunt for an upgraded fuel system. I talked to a Honda friend of mine. He was stoked to learn that I maxed out 750cc injectors. But then again, he is a Honda guy!
