Why did you choose the greddy headers and not the element tuning headers?

I had the greddy header before the built motor and gt75 kit. So i figured I'd just keep it until i went to a twin scroll setup of some kind.

have you liked element tuning so faR? already planning on a twinscroll setup? how has the lag been?

Md05STI · 02-18-2008, 10:26 AM

I couldnt be happier with what Element Tuning has gave me so far. The lag of this turbo isnt bad at all, but everyone has a different opinion on whats too laggy. I wont go to a twin scroll setup until i get to use this turbo with ported set of heads and valvetrain to see what it can really do.

I ran the car for the first time this year and had some traction issues on the new tires and coilovers. Started to finally get them dialed in on the 3rd pass of the day when my twin disc started to go in 4th gear and completely let go in 5th. 1st pass the car spun horribly to a 1.75 60ft, 2nd pass i missed 2nd gear, and the 3rd pass is when the clutch let go. Heres what the slips looked like....

60... 1.753 - 1.700 - 1.697
330... 4.897 - 5.484 - 4.680
1/8... 7.430 - 8.081 - 7.150
MPH... 97.08 - 94.52 - 98.06
1000... 9.570 - 10.215 - 9.305
1/4... 11.409 - 12.009 - 11.238
MPH... 123.58 - 126.84 - 112.62

The 3rd pass was a new best 1/8 for the car. Heres a few pics from the dragstrip....
