It really makes me wonder how much power it makes with no turbo? Then after at whichever psi. Maybe we could get them to do a "base" run with no spring in the wastegate? o_O I don't wven know if that will keep it from making boost, although 99% sure it will. Might see one psi or something.

Then put the spring in and see what it does. As long as you get a stable boost-less first pull, then it would be a neat comparison. That way you would get some idea of how much you make "stock".

That would be cool.

wouldn't that create open boost? since the spring is what keeps the plunger from opening but also closes it when it drops below that psi level.... I think that would create a massive exhaust leak as well since the plunger would be kicked open and stay open.

Maybe i'm just tired. :laugh:

Schwiiiiiiing! Hell yeah that is good news! I am starting to get excited about the number potential. Then when you drive up to the December PZ meet, you will actually be able to tell people how much power it makes. Fiiiiiinally.


I have the patience of a tortoise. The goal is already attained. The journey offers time reflection and contemplation.

Before you can become Blastoise, Squirtle . . . first you must transform into Wartortle. :eek:ld:

today i was calling around for install and tuning to see how much itll cost to get the pro efi into my truck.
1 place quoted me 7k! lol for ecm and harness and tune it will cost 7k! they told me " kuz my truck is a custom turbo tacoma and it will take alot of time and work to get it running with the pro efi. " LOL sounds like a rip off. and they trying to milk me. when i know powerfab will do it for a fraction of the cost. :top: and marks truck is already tuned by powerfab with the pro efi. just wanted to share that kuz i thought it was funny to get quoted 7k for ecm and harness made and tuned. :lloyd:



and today i installed my led light bulbs for my reverse, map, dome, and license plate.
thx to slayor for the bulb size.

Once that sucker is tuned, it will be track time. I know you will get some good times with that auto. It is going to be fast!
