Cody how are the EGT's with the two's and stock turbo? I am planning to get new nozzles with my 1's and I am tempted to just get stage 2 nozzle since they are the same price.

Tim, I haven't seen over 900*. But I still have the old gauges in it post turbo. And I haven't really sustained a wot run for fear that the clutch is slipping. It's really been short bursts so far. But I'll keep you up to date. And I say, get the S2 nozzles.

i must say that i was in the truck on the test drive and the boost is crazy. the gauge rises slowly for a second then all of a sudden you blink and the guage is pegged!! smoke is awesome and the truck runs awesome as well!!! cody, you have done a great job on the truck, but this is all i ask. take it easy on him b/c it wouldn't be good for me to have a boost guage with the peg broked off of it. i think you already cracked the peg!!! LoL

Don't worry, Those gauges are coming out real soon. But I want to hook up my pyro in the manifold and watch to see the difference pre and post. I need to get the intercooler on to settle those boost #'s a little. If it's pegging that gauge with leaky up pipes and a crimped boost line, I don't think the turbo is gonna be long for this world.

I'm going to go to great length to be there. I will be in Marble Falls tearing down my old dock at the lakehouse. But I'm gonna pause for a few hours to make the meet.

That's the commitment I like to see. We used to have a lake house at Marble Falls. We called it a lake house, but it wasn't acutally on the lake. But close enough.

Dan, this (insert cussing) is one bad (insert more cussing) with these new injectors. I mean (misc. cussing)you know. I would say look for my (cussing) call probably next week. Not only do I think this (cussing) clutch is slipping, I need to pull the (cussing) tranny so I can put new (cussing) up-pipes. I think I'm gonna go with the same clutch as last time. But I haven't made up my (cussing) mind. LM(cussing)O

Seriously, I gotta have a clutch. I want to get it before this thing explodes and takes a foot off. I'll call ya soon.

Yes, and Dan isn't just valair ppl, he is Valair. Even though he doesn't post alot, he's always lurking to see what guys are doing as to better improve his stuff. And as alway, I HIGHLY recommend him if you ever need a clutch. He's a great guy, even thought he always hopes for my clutch's demise. LOL
