        What turbo and manifold are you running again? 

        Edit: did you get a tq curve print out as well?

          I suppose I should have posted this graph earlier, oops.

            Sweet thanks veggiemike

            would be interested in seeing that msq file 😉

            manual boost controller? Electronic? Or just straight spranging it with boost reference directly to gate?

                If you're sending those MSQ's around feel free to hit a brother up!

                Also, I think I know where your oil is going. Watched the dyno pull vid and saw the let off cloud

                  Ya No doubt my car is consuming a bit of oil. I have been monitoring it frequently though and it doesn't seem to be much worse then it was when the motor was NA.

                  About a quart every 1000 miles... 1/4 of a quart give or take every 2 tanks of gas or 300 miles.😁

                    Do you have an oil restrictor in the oil feed line?

                            Are you running a catch can setup? Or stock style pcv system?

                                    It sounds different than other 24V builds and is the best that I have heard.

                                      the turbo mellowing out any harshness/rasp? would love to hear it sometime too.

                                        I dont know the manifold setup, but I love the hell out of an RB/JZ exhaust note. You are probably correct on that and the single exhaust bundling it all up

                                          It makes me all tingly inside seeing this stuff being put to use. 
                                          The manifold is still the one you ceramic coated @B C, ceramic downpipe, and through a very large resonator.

                                          ...
