Both valair clutches I had in my dodge took over 1000 miles to feel right and start holding power. One was single disk and the other was a double disk. But it was like as soon as you hit that 1000 mile mark, they instantly just started holding and working perfect. Valair said 500 miles..yea right.

South bend said 400 miles. My original dual disc got broke in nice because my cp3 couldn't hold rail so it was broke in by the time I got my sportsman pump and made power. This time I have power lol. My speedo is so far off it already says it's been over 700 miles I bet it's been more like 4 or 500.

You need to take one of those rachet straps and strap that tool box down, keep it from sliding around ;)

Well gonna back track a hair. Something let go oil wise under the turbo my guess is the return . Pulled on the highway and lost some power and started smoking white bad. Still had oil pressure pulled over right away, but thought I heard the turbo shutter, and smoke came out from inside the turbo behind the compressor wheel when I took the intake tube off, but dry no oil there. Maybe just some smoke it sucked up when it was running back tracking it's way back out. Definitely oil under the turbo and soot so I found another exhaust leak so I guess I'm gonna pull the turbo again and check it all out. I need to install my new up pipe gaskets anyway. Just sucks I switched to t6 and it blows oil everywhere. Hope everything is good I'll have it looked over later this week. I'm off Thursday friday.

Anytime you smoke a turbo the bearings are pretty well on the way out. A turbo spinning 10k+ rpms only takes a few seconds to start to wear bearings.

I bought the turbo from Evan at limitless only had about 10 miles on it. Are you guys thinking I smoked a turbo? Oil is all underneath it. I feel my return could have easily ruptured I cut the stock tube and connected it with that red high heat hose from napa. Just clamped on the stock return. I just ordered a new t4 gasket and merchant braded return line. I was probably doing 20 mph when I seen the smoke pulled over and shut if off before I even stopped. I wiggled the wheel around and it didn't seem crazy wobbly or anything. And it did have oil pressure still about 40 psi. I can't see popping the turbo when it hasn't even been pushed yet I've had exaust leaks so its not even being fully driven and the biggest tune it's been on was two because the clutch won't hold. I've only barely hit 40 psi with this thing and maybe had 4 or 500 miles on it.

I'll get it checked out, hope for the return blowing or leaking. I'm not leaning towards it being the turbo but we won't know til I pull it apart. I was iffy about that red hose I put on there. I just wouldn't think it would blow when it was cold out truck was not even up to temperature yet, doubt the oil was hot and hadn't even spooled since I left work, don't spool til about 2500 lol with the exhaust leak. I was just pulling on the road. I'll just check it out and go from there
