That's friggen great! Lol
Does your wideband seem to work properly in that short of a DP? I've heard that a wideband likes a significant length of pipe after it, but that is probably more so in a N/A application rather than boosting...
What is the turbo setup this time?

Motor mounts formal update post
Due to rediculous import fees, i will not be selling the 3.0 car to my mexican friend, he has estimates over 3300 dollars so far in import fees and taxes etc, Honestly i just feel bad sticking him with that kinda bill, and i like the car, so i will keep it for now, what i am going to do now is, pull the weak point out of it wich is the gen3 4.8 and smaller turbo, and install the 5.3 i have and the better turbo and hotside and go nuts.
the black car is getting the 4.8 and a ls1 cam i have laying around and we will see how that does with the 60e, stock driveshaft and 7.5 rear end.
so that is the new experiment, saturday corey and i pulled the 4.8, removed the cam, and installed the ls1 cam, and installed it all back into the black car, going to be studding, and installing the isky cam, and then pac1218 valvesprings into the yellow car with the 2005 5.3l motor and the reiners hotside and s476 billet turbo.
should be nuts! this is the best choice i think because this yellow car has the fuel system, rear, trans, and converter to go nuts already.
also the hotside has arrived from my friend, check out that beaut

Could you share what settings you changed to help the 60e hold up to some power
That Monte carlo SS doesnt look bad enough to be scraped.
