Well the car is up and running. I hope to have pics and vids soon. I have been busy getting the FAST XFI setup lined out. I have driven the car a little bit. I have a 7lbs spring in the Waste Gate. Heck at 7lbs is spins. Boost coms on strong and very fast at 2800rpms . I can wait to get it lined out and put the 14lbs springs in. I am limited to 14lbs right now due to my 2 BAR MAP sensor.

Well I did a little more tuning on the car. I brought it home tonight. I am glad to have it sitting back in my driveway again. I went into boost a couple times. 7lbs and it was a real rush. Car felt good. A/F was 11.5:1 and 17* of timming. 110 octane race gas of course.

The TC76MPS is a great turbo for a 370ci engine. Yeah bigger Turbos make bigger numbers, but you can only put so much down on the street anyway.

Wells guys I hope to have the car on the Dyno tonight. I have been tunning my butt off and have everythign to where it suits me. It has a 7lb spring in the WG as of now. I have the required springs to go up to 17lbs if I need too.

I took video of the first start up. My little JVC GR-D250U camcorder doesnt have a mini USB plug to put them on the PC though. Gotta run to Best Buy.

Anyway. Hopefully tonight I will have soem verified Dyno number with a graph to post for this TC67MPS turbo.

I made it about a mile from the dyno today and the EVIL turbo gods struck again. My PS line got to close the the manifold and I got a hole. To beat all it was the pressure side. So now I have a mess to clean up. New hose will be on tomarrow. Hopefully I can make it down to the dyno this weekend sometime.

DUDE!!! It should look like a NASA satellite under the hood on all lines when it comes to bolting a turbocharger on

I have all sorts of heatshielding SHEATHING slipped over any line that comes near my crossover. PS, Oil return, radiator hose....
