I have questions about building my own turbo setup
What spark plugs for the turbo guys.
Need help with air fuel ratio on silber turbo
Air Fule Ratio Thru The Roof K&T
Idle 12.5
Partial throttle 13.5
WOT 13.5
My problem now is that while riding some woops ad bumpy trails I punched the throttle and the motor fell flat on its face. I let off throttle and it picked back up. So I checked the a/f gauge and pinned it again and the gauge read 17.5 ratio. And now I’m only able to make 3.5# of boost. Waste gate actuator is working properly too I think.
I checked the pure logic controller and nothing seems wrong there. As far as blinking lights to warn me that I need to make a change there were not any.
I looked things over and all seem to be in order as far as no loose wires no blown hoses. The manifold is billet and is in great shape.
And now I have a check engine symbol on the dash gauge. Can anyone give me some advice prior to me taking it to the dealer.
Fuel pressure is at 38 pounds. I took it to 40 and had the same problem so I put it back. Oil level is good.
Maybe the o2 sensor? Suggestions would be great. Thanks Don
Low boost and 13:1 compression
Silber turbo install
Came with under bed intercooler that was unfortunately bent during shipping
However the guys at silber are shipping another one out. So far i have had great customer service experience.
List of the parts in my kit
Kpa gt28 turbo with v band
850 cc injectors
V band mid pipe
Turbo smart waste gate
Head shim (lowers compression)
Optional dual innovate gauge with afr and boost gauge in one
Power comander 5
Silicone hoses
Banjo fittings for the coolant hoses
Intake manifold ( still waiting on that item should arrive on monday)
Here is a picture of the turbo
And some of the items it comes with
Was debating running the head shim or just upgrading the pistons and the rods since the head has to come off anyway.
Eventually i would like to go with an aem infinity ecu and maybe a different blow off valve
Ill take more later tonight

Oil return line
The MCX kit uses the engine drain plug with an adapter and banjo washers. I am not a fan. There are 3 plugs just above the oil pan on the left side behind the clutch cover, can they be used or are they pressurized?
Any other locations?
Thanks
