Default Short in car video @ 2psi

Here is a short in car video of my home built front mount tubo kit, on my 98 ls1 ta. The turbo is a gt4276.

Again, this is a real short teaser, only about 2-2.5 psi. The car will be dyno tund to about 7-8 psi in 1 week or so.


Thanks Chris

Make sure you get her tuned PERFECTLY before getting into it too much.

Its so hard to not get on it.

The mail order was done by texas speed. They assured me the car would be perfectly safe @ 3 psi. I understand what your saying though.... Im definatly not touching the boost controller untill it gets tuned. Next weekend we gota bleed the brakes,(we got rid of abs) and put front bumper on and its pretty much done. It should be tuned on the 7th or 8th, but i will figure out for sure tomorrow.

You saw the gauge in the video right?

http://www.tialmedia.com/documents/w3_tial_44_sp.pdf

Tial's smallest spring for the 44 wastegate is the small yellow which is .2 bar or 2.9 psi.

I guess we may have been closer to 3 psi, but we havn't got on it all that hard yet.
