:D:D:D

Started at 10:15, Mike showed up around noon, it was finished around 2:45.

Mike was one hell of a good hand, it would have taken a lot longer without him, he jumped right in and got it handled :hug:

No drinking, not till now.....................The turbo sounds awesome, you can hear me coming from a long way off, its gonna turn heads.....My smoke is cleaned up :mad:, but the sound more than makes up for it. I think tuning is going to have to go in a different direction now, its strong, but I think it can be a lot stronger. I did see 50 psi boost on the only strong run I made, I think the sweet spot is going to be in the lower 40 range though.

No pics, It looks like a stock turbo:cool2:

Boy that turbo sounds sweet. REALLY COOL :cool2:

It still smokes a little with the BIG smoke tune, but only a LITTLE. Sorry Larry we'll get that fixed with max vane position for your smoke tune.

Ya, I saw 50 and was hollering for him to back off. I'm not sure we'll have to go in a different direction, but most definitely further.

As far as the time I showed up, I should have shown later. Those damn bolts suck to back out. :rofl: We got all that done and no fighting. :hug:

I really like the turbo and can't wait to take advantage of it. Seems kinda weird though, I would think the vane position, with the larger a/r, would have required way more angle? Seems though it is gonna take less. :confused: With our pre-cheetah tune we are seeing 50psi. Oh well after the drive pressure setup is installed we'll be tuning away.

Congrats Larry, but I'm afraid I was a bit more anxious to take it for a ride than you. :D
