If anyone wants this setup I am probably going to pull it all off and sell it. Would make a good kit for someone. Easy to install.

Damn Justin. I'm having my share of issues lately as well. Received 3 wrong turbos in a row and now that we have the car going again it seems to have started a knock in the motor somewhere that I've yet to locate...and it only has 2K on the motor I was able to hit 21.2 psi the other day though

Dont do it man.!!! I thought the car was running great on 10psi?
once you try 15+psi you'll never look back...

I agree with you though I hate not driving the car anytime I want knowing there is some issues need to be fixed..

Bud just at least work out the bugs first, once you get things worked out up the boost and i bet you will change your mind, you have a badass set up, you just got done with the build its going to take awhile to get the bugs worked out, u will be sorry if you sell it without working things out and turning up the boost

Justin,

Just drop your car off over here at Tim and I's, and I'll fix all the little b.s. that's causing issues. Come pick it up in a week.

Turbo LS1 have 99 problems and sitting ain't one. Ok that what lame but I'm no JayZ. I think I spent all last year trying to get my car running half right, spent a lot of time and money chassing issues. Once you get the big bugs worked out you will enjoy it. I will say a turbo car isn't for everyone, especially if you don't do your own tuning.

Well I'm guessing a 8.25-8.50 setup like you have now as a nitrous car would have just as much sorting out! Stick it out!

i'm pretty sure we all know who you need to take this thing to and why you aren't is pretty confusing. I'm assuming you don't want it fixed that bad

wow.....PTC charged me $75 to go from 3200-3600 and tighten it up. That place rules and the products are supreme. They will go up in time as their name become more synonymous.

I will say though if you own a turbo car, you have to be able to do your own tuning.

If you don't you will spend a lot of money, time, driving and having to wait each and every time something isn't quite right.

Swapping a jet and taking a degree of timing out here and there is a lot more simple compared to that.

I wish I still had a turbo car a lot of times, mainly at the drag strip when I hear a BOV pop coming out of the water box and when it's on the two and three step popping and banging up a storm

Now when it comes to maintenance and overall keeping up with one, I don't miss it for the world.
