Good work Craig, v-impressed! How doe's it compare to your old 8v turbo?
Tbh the old one was setup quite well & was able to be drilled pretty hard. This one has a bigger T25 turbo someone has bought for it. I gather it was still new & unused when I bought it. Currently its boosting too high for what I want, so being cautious, I have to keep backing off to reign the boost pressure in, so still havent experienced wide open throttle. I installed a manual boost controller yesterday, but it hasnt achieved what I wanted, so may need to play with the actuator I reckon.
Quite amusing how I did 300 miles in 3 months on the last engine, but have done nearly 1500 in a month or so with this..:)
Sounds good, i think.
Glad your out enjoying it! Drive down this way...

Doesnt pick up the sound very well Sadly!
Good Times :)
I knew it was turbo but thought you had an 8V turbo in there! Top marks dont see many of the small block more valve turbos about!Quote:
