You're never going to get that center mount "Instaboost" turbo to last. The harmonic balancing of the pipe has been compromised due to the turbo placement. But hey... that's just my personal opinion.

It's the reeds that don't last so far - everything else with it has been great - seems to eat reeds like the cookie monster eats cookies

I pulled reeds out of impulse kit because of low end hesitation.. To my disbelif there were 24 thou, so I now bet this was the problem with lag.. Purchased threw impulse

tdr are 22 thou, and work much better I found, Brice at turbo performance sent me a set of 18 thou and I bet they would work great..

I ended up putting in the carbon fibre reeds 207ht, they are 17 thou and heard good stuff from redline

I also did the pedal mod where they are drilled and taped, and then bolted together.. I'm hoping if a blown belt they will keep pedals from warping.. We will see

one picture of the mod and another of what I'm hoping it will help prevent after one back fire..

I see the drilled part - I might try that - taped where and how?
