The controller is setup to crack at 10psi which seems to be it's happy place. He's turned it up and down and it either caused it to spool slower or it caused it to have big fluttery spikes. Right now on a 3rd gear roll it will make boost as soon as 2400rpms. One of his logs shows it making full boost under 3400rpms

New turbo is on and running. Feels like a night and day difference. Hoping to have it completely tuned and running 18-20 lbs shortly. For now, here is a short video.

The roads were clear and dry. It had rained a few days prior so the roads were basically washed clean. If I still had my 2000 SS it wouldn't move from the garage until all signs of snow were gone. This car is not near as nice as my old one, ha.

Thanks though!

It's set at 925 I believe. The tune still needs some tweaking in some areas.

Sounds good. I'm going with the same turbo on my setup. What are your goals on 18-20lbs? Still a stock shortblock?

Anything over 700 would be nice. Bottom end is stock and still have untouched 317's.

Thanks man. Right now the downpipe is dumped by the starter, ha. Ordered a magnaflow muffler for it and am going to have a custom 2otl exhaust made at the local exhaust shop. I have a cutout I will put on it right after the k-member as well. I am sick of it being loud.

I can understand that, I can appreciate the sound of a loud and aggressive exhaust, but... not all the time. What size is the downpipe?
