Yea, but it's coming out and replacing it with a GT2-3 and I'm thinking no headwork since this engine ain't going to be in there for long, if you know what I mean......

Please make a note of the PSI change when you swap the cam. I have the 224r on a 112 and would like the information to mull over. Thanks.

What pulley ya got on it? You need to up the boost, HUGE difference from say 4 to 7-8 psi.

Well maybe it's just the picture...why would I want to take it apart. Maybe it looks like that because it's still missing the bracket, idler pulley, intake tube and filter and the whole rest.

The pulley is 3.25= 8# (correct me if I'm wrong) but it's the current cam that is leaking out the other 4 lbs.
I'll get the other 4 (hopefully) with the GT2-3

Yeah obviously it's the picture and the reason for the question... wondering why you would split it and obviously you didn't. Sorry for the confusion.

Enjoy the Radix. Its a great kit.

The cam may be bleeding a little bit of boost off but, your boost reading is lower than 8psi also because the cam helps the engine flow better. The better flowing the engine is the less restriction there will be in the intake manifold and less boost will be seen. You're are still flowing basically the same amount of air just doing it more efficiently.

If you don't get any more boost with the cam slap a smaller pulley on it.

Congrats man, the radix is a awesome piece.
