right there is an absolute brilliant post I believe hes running a bone stock clutch and his TQ is 370+ at like 3k rpm, I dont think a stock clutch can hold that esp when its 371 to the wheels?

Ok time for me to be the harsh voice of reason. Greg are you ******* Bi Polar. I think you need to be checked. One minute your up the next your down. THERES NOTHING F@CKING WRONG with the kit. Theres a few bugs to make out and nothing more. It takes time. Stop posting in here and let Don help you or TAKE THE F@CKING thing out cause your not ready for the world of POS fast fbods. Plain and simple. Your a good kid but stop talking out your ***. Don can handle this. If I cried about everytime my car didnt make the power I wanted there would be a river. Talk to me when you are on your second motor, 4th clutch and things still aint right. Enough with this. Get it fixed. Don said the install looked good, why redo it? knock it off before I come up there and shake the **** out of you.

And Get a good clutch in there if don`t already. A bad clutch could be more of a problem then you`d think. My clutch started sliping the other day and now when i get on it the clutch starts sliping when i hit around 4000rpm and then i kiss my 9psi of boost good by becase it drops off to about 3psi.

you will make more than 80 hp...but i can't believe you would purchase a turbo kit not knowing that it wasn't an instant 300hp boost or whatever.

nothing is that easy if so, everyone would have one. over a hundred dyno pulls and you see robs numbers, you're having it EASY compared to some here.

A few words of advise..Just check all clamps and take off the BOV,install block off plate...Check all vacuum lines and tywrap them to prevent leaks.

Also,remember when I tuned it last there might of been an air leak,so if there was and now you correct it,it will be lean and might cause the motor harm....

My name is coming up alot lately,I'm flattered
