camber Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Shes a beauty...talk about quick shipping from steamspeed...thanks Christian and Sam for taking care of me...im a very happy customer...cant wait to hear her scream now installing STX71 vs STX67 Wait... are you trying out both turbos on your car? The STX67 and STX71? Or did you replace the STX67 with the STX71? Was thinking of picking up the STX67 + but what made you think of trying the 71?

tocinoman25 Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 67 had fitment issues as the chargeside was blocked by the pcv valve/sensor that couldn't be relocated...when i made the purchase i asked if there were any fitment issues and if i needed any special parts to make for smooth install...sure enough they said it was a straight up install...but with the issues i had, Christian was kind enough to get hold of me asap to solve my forment issue...the fix was the uppipe to turbo flange thats a 1/4 inch thick with longer studs but i went ahead and asked if i can just return the 67 and get lgt stlye turbo and just get the 71...steamspeed accepted and made me a happy camper...i really wanted the 67 for a more streetable turbo but i didnt want to wrench any more on my car and settle for the 71...we shall see what she does this saturday....im happy with the customer service that christian provided...sam and christian are great to deal with...top notch customer service...im still glad i went with steamspeed...

tocinoman25 Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 Got her tuned...unfortunately i will have to finish with etune om same mustang dyno as there were issues with wastegate actuator/arm...we thought it was the 3port ebcs and tried a manual boost controller adjusting it and still same results...hitting 12 psi...then made adjustments to the actuator and still same results...it does have a .8 bar spring...maybe the 1.2 bar spring could help? But with same results after adjusting actuator...not worth installing it...i may just end up looking for a grimmspeed ewg uppipe setup ill take this for now and be happy that she is healthy...this was on a mustang with .9 correction factor Follow me on IG @chefodiycarguy and @chefo.soriano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tocinoman25 Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 (edited) I know its been a while since I updated...been crazy busy with relocating etc ect... Best I can do until I decide on a tuner out here is this virtual dyno plot Stage 2 plot included for comparison Edited September 23, 2015 by tocinoman25 Follow me on IG @chefodiycarguy and @chefo.soriano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LatentWagen Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Thanks for the update! Love the Dirty Penny thing Would you consider the 71 vs tuned stage 2 worth it? Looks like your old setup had some more area under the curve. LW's spec. B / YT / IG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tocinoman25 Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 Im thinking the 5 speed is happier now lol...but i did ask a few members about td06sl2 18g and that seems to be more of my ideal powerband. I dont have any regrets since steamspeed was not really heard of...but xluben had the stx71 and said it was decent. There is definitely room to grow should i pull trigger on a built shortblock. I originally wanted the stx67 but wasnt available in lgt flange and i was staying top mount. Hopefully they will make a 67+ lgt flange and ill probably get it or the kinugawa and consider 1.5xtr and go front mount?

LatentWagen Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I picked up a traditional style adapter hose to run with my PW TMIC, and am looking at either an 8cm 18g, or a 10cm 1.5xtr as turbo choices. I'm leaning toward the 18g because any bigger and I'd rather hold out for a rotated setup. The 1.5 does seem to be a good compromise. LW's spec.
