Going to be doing some road tuning this weekend. Then it will be much closer to ready. With TX2K this week, dyno time won't be available until early April. :(

In the mean time.......

Wrapped up the exhaust components with PTP exhaust wrap. Feels much better than the DEI brand's.

I purchased them from Amazon. Searched for stainless zip ties. To tighten, I use needle nose pliers and roll the excess. I cut off all but a small tail prior to rolling.

OH boy that didn't take long. Gah u turbo guys are lucky. So easy to make crap loads of power with just a spring change. And so much more power on 15psi than I could ever make at 15psi.

Soon. Soon. Rear end likes to step out quickly. Need some new tires before I can do that. Have to concentrate firmly on handling when getting on it. Even half throttle. :ahhhhh:

Just ordered the "large blue" spring. Going to be ~18 psi. :biggrin: The down side is how much complicated the task is to get there though with these trucks, for a turbo build. If only a kit were made....:crinklehair:

Yeah. Shane's truck has got to be a tire roaster for sure. :rockon:

Yea but ur making 350hp at 5psi. I'm making 438 at 15psi. When u hit that boost ull be in the 500 range. Plus i only peak 389 ftlb tq. Ur almost at that already blue10. I want a turbo. yea it will melt the tires. I can dump it's off the line with launch control and once i hit second gear it's all smoke and no traction. I need wider tires and a rear end rebuild.

I understand, agree, and sympathize with your assessments. I got lucky with my kit.

I sympathize as well. The S/C upgrade, for more flow, is no pouch of coins either. But in the end, yours still makes good power and whoops ass on plenty I am sure. :top:
