When you said you'd have it running by this last weekend, I was hopeful. Oh well, at least you haven't hit any major snags.

compound turbo update
Well all was going well until I got to the manifolds. After ditching the first set and going with thicker material. . . I got them all welded up. Not it was time to connect the two to the intercooler tube. This proved to be a difficult task. Three different days working on it till I finally figured it out. I was able to retain the 3" tubes into both manifolds. I have to put a dent in one. . . but I'll settle with that. There just isn't a lot of room in there boys. My buddies are having a bonfire and beer tonight so I'm not sure how much more i'm going to get done. . . but this truck really should be rollin within the next three to four days. Catch up with you guys later.

He is using a stock turbo in the stock location and a stock h2e that he was running singly in there before as a secondary charger. With his 6 speed he should spool rather "quick".

Currently just to get the setup working andmake sure everything works as I want it to. . . I'm sticking with a slightly upgraded stocker and the H2. Eventually or probably sooner rather than later the H2 will get the upgraded wheel. And I'll also be running stage III's. I'm pretty sure the stocker isn't going to last either. . . ithas a problem with heat. . . So I'm looking at the turbonetics .84. Anyway, I got the manifolds done and the piping between the two welded and ready for install. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

I have an HX55 that was used with a TN 1.00 that I bought that made a claimed 80 PSI. For a hot set up, size the atmosphere unit at twice the flow of the primary. So if using a TN 1.00/hi flo outlet, look for something in the 1700+ CFM range.
