The opposite... Adding fuel lower EGT. You should lean it out a little bit before boost comes and add a little bit timing to spool the turbo faster. Think of it as a N/A tune before the boost comes in. Just watch that KR and be careful. By peak TQ you should have the lowest timing possible in your table and then start to increase it again until redline.

you don't need a bullet muffler. try it with just a straight pipe first. the bullets I had on my car didn't quiet it any. they just killed all of that beautiful turbine whine. I don't run any muffs on the street now.

That's the ticket...

You're tempting me to go rip my bullet out right now.

Sure it would, anytime a coating is used its a good thing....but I didn't do it because I didn't have the $$$$$$ when I put together my truck manifold kit. Maybe one of these days I'll get all the parts coated, right now pretty low on my priority....i'm just trying to get this thing to run right.
