Thats awesome man...can't wait til I can get mine tuned out the rest of the way and put the hammer down on it

Might check the wires to make sure nothing is getting burned or causing an arc. Could be a spot in the tune...did it show up on the dyno run? Might check your graphs/call the shop that tuned it today and check

This is not on e-85. It feels crazy on the street. I checked over the wires and added some di electric grease also. I fixed a couple minor exhaust leaks also.

Im going to do some 60-100mph blasts to see how it feels in about 1 hour.

I am sure you could use a standerd or super cover on a 78.

We can probably adapt the new cover and back plate and CNC them to fit the TC series. I don't see a problem. The gains are around 100hp maybe a little more depending on how far your pushing the turbo.

Wow 100 hp that is sweet. I might send in my turbo sometime in the future and upgrade it to a 78 and a custom race cover installed with 3" outlet.

If you do that keep me posted! I'm already scheming on how to make mine faster and I haven't even gone WOT with it yet hahaha

Guys, I will find out how much the conversion if you have a TC unit already would be. Also how much CNC work will be needed...

Car looked real fast Alex, how fast did we go, my speedo doesn't work plus I was busy keeping my car straight (which was a lot of work haha). See if Mark can email the vids from his phone, I can put them on FQuick.
