So you should. Not many people can fabricate their own T4 kit.

But then you went and put a weird turbo on it. *runs for cover*

You are very welcome Carlos. I firmly believe you will solve your coolant-in-oil problem as you install a T6 Turbonator. When’s it coming?

Well done Leonard. It appears you have it dialed in quite well now.

I liked the GFN video better due the amount of available data. I am quite impressed with your ability to manipulate DashWare virtual gauges.

Thanks for sharing with us all, but how are you feeling about where the truck is at now? After all of the time, effort and engineering that you have put forth over the past several months.

Are you pleased with it? That is all that matters at this point.

That GFN video represents half a day of futzing with Dashware to find the right gauges to convey the information in a succinct manner. That was a learning experience I do not wish to repeat for awhile.

I am pretty happy with how the truck is running. At this point, I am ready to declare this project completed. Unless I blow the turbo again that is.

I figured as much and am still very grateful for your help in understanding Dashware and it's capabilities.
