Default I Love Boost :d!!!@!@%@#$%

well spent the last 3 days making everything fit- and tonight got it 2 boost- only ran 4psi cause i dont have the fmu installed but thats gonna be in 2 moro.

truck feels so strong and omg the turbo sound is amazing with the rearmount. try and get some videos and pictures. not to pretty gotta figure outa how to get intake on there- prolly use some flex tube. otherwise well worth it.

btw-

2002 4.3L 4l60e blazer-
other mods- pullies, shift kit, vette servos, traction bars.

IT CHIRPS SECOND @ HALF THROTTLE!!!!!!

already got a run in with a buddies 3.8L mustang- has intake, pullies, TB, full exhaust, SCT tuner, and short shifter- beat the **** outta him from a dig and pulled a car from a roll- the truck runs so strong!

I dont want to dog you or anyhting but mustangs are the slowest thing on earth...

But... that is awesome and once you get a FMU it will run tough... i think nitrous was a better choice for them 4.3s though...

You gunna boost and spray???

maybe in the future- either planning a 5.3L swap or 4.3L build- not sure yet-

idk- having had both i think i will stay with turbo

btw come on- my truck @ 4psi even just keeping up with that car would have been an ocomplishment- only made 137whp bone stock- im only running pullies and 4psi now, and i weigh 4200lbs

Granted your in a truck...but I think my 91 Honda Accord 4dr could beat a 3.8L Mustang

And you have the thing tuned right? Otherwise you just screwed your engine...

i got some problems-
some of you boost aholics might know

1.) everytime i rev it in nuteral it drops below idle and almost dies.

2.) there is a kind of drop in power every now and then. like it kinda stumbles not dies, just stumbles when acclerating most of the time, just accerlating to keep with traffic. anyone know?

3.) boost guage was stuck @ 8lbs vacumme. no matter what the throttle was @- then i parked it in the driveway and it started stumbling very bad then died. check all the connections but didnt touch any of them (checked all the vaccume connections) turned the truck back on and it was fine
any ideas?

Is this an STS universal kit or a rear mount you fabbed up? Elaborate more on that tune. IIRC, blazers are stuck with the stock injectors so your running an FMU to handle the extra duty?

adjustable cartech fmu and procharger external fuel pump- its a tune from hellsbents10. he can elaborate- dont know much about the tune. sent it to him for a tune. DOP (doctors of performance) does alot of 4.3L work and he tunes alot so i sent him my ecu for a retune
