Stall is pretty large. But honestly we were not sure as to when the monster turbo would spool on this little motor. Stall right now is set to 4000 rpms. I have no clue where it actually hits yet though. I have not had the laptop hooked to it when in motion I plan to get the bumper on today and try to go do some test drives Just have to get a few little details taken care of. I really don't want to boost it too much until I get on E85. That may happen today as well.

So I found out last night that despite the retailer's assurances, push lock and high pressure power steering lines are not good friends. Thankfully I was just doing little short runs up and down the street and was actually pulling in the driveway when it blew and scattered power steering fluid all over the exhaust and street.

Yeah those are push lock too. Pretty much everything on the car is push lok except the oil feed and return on the turbo. I am hoping that the transmission lines will be ok, but I may put clamps on them. Heck the cooler lines from the factory are just slip on lines with clamps. But I "think" that PS lines are a good bit higher pressure. I have been wrong before though.

Thank you. My plan is to get a good cruise tune one 93 in case e85 is not available and then get it on the corn. Hopefully by the end of the month.

I was pretty excited. It crosses into positive pressure at around 3200, but it is hard to tell as it has a 4000 rpm stall, so it might be sooner if it did not have the stall going on.

mines a 3400 stall will be interesting to see the differences.
