Excellent numbers for a 70, those heads/cam must be working well with that combination. Get another walbro 340 in there asap, thats def. pushing a single pump.

so far it hasnt puked a drop of oil .. smoked up or anything .its been a great turbo despite all the abuse i put to it !!

i actually overspooled this turbo for quite some time

the coupler butted up to the fmic but was " blown off" the car still made 10 psi but spooled all to hell in order to get there until 1 week later when i noticed it'd actually blown off

If you got almost 650rwhp out of a racetronix dude, it's doing it's job, I'm actually VERY impressed. LOL My TA also had a racetronix.

I ran one for a long time... I never thought it could go that far so I went for a T-76...

Man that T-70 spooled up quick! I never had a complaint with that turbo... Sold it to a buddy PERFECTLY working for $300.00. You can't beat that!
