It did great all except I think my brake booster is heading south. Wish I had a zero loss right about now. I couldn't get it to 1100 on egt's. Completely shocked honestly. It was horrible with the stock turbo unloaded. How's the mustang coming along?

Had some catching up to do on this one. Hadn't checked it in awhile. Glad it's running and towing good! I may have to try out the 69 if I ever get off my butt and install my studs, springs, and hybrids. Lol

Everything is great besides the clutch lol. It's not happy at all at 45psi. Going to have to do the clutch soon.

Didnt see if you had a plan for the clutch. If not, organic dual disc all day long. I've run literally every clutch that Valair has and this has been my favorite for a sub 550hp daily/tow pig. Just don't go drag racing, sled pulling, or doing burnouts with it. They don't like high rpm launches/dumps. Lol

I was actually going to ask you for your input, but you beat me to it lol. No launches/dumps planned. I think things will break lol.
