Today is my 1 year anniversary of going ka-t.
Year in review:
Feb. 2009
Mileage: 84,361
Compression: 195-200psi straight across
Turbocharger: Garrett t3/t04e .63ar 50 trim
Boost levels: Variable (First three months at a solid 8-9psi from wastegate, 14.5 psi high boost)
Tune: Enthalpy (adjusted 1 time for new NISMO injectors)
Present:
Mileage: 91,204
Compression: Still 195-200psi straight across w00t!
Turbocharger: Precision hp5862 .63ar 57trim
Boost levels (8lb wastegate spring = 11-12 psi with this turbo, 15.8psi high boost)
Tune: Enthalpy (afr's same so didn't bother re-tuning)
Problems with car in the last year:
Alternator took a shit / replaced with a 125a nissan quest alternator
Deatschwerks injectors sucked / replaced with Nismo 555's after the first 2 months of boost
Garrett turbo died / replaced with Precision turbo
Future modifications: Equal length tubular manifold, arp head studs, felpro mls head gasket - 18psi
Thanks to everyone who helped me with advice/tuning/ideas/parts and wrenching along the way!

What all did you have to do to make the Quest alternator work? Just swap the pulley?
Glad all is going well with your set up. I'm hoping my motor is trouble free for the next few years as well.
