            Okay so I have a coolant leak coming from the thermostat housing.  I fired it up after charging the battery and it wasn't leaking when cold after I snugged up the bolts.  I'll drive it down to Billy's shop and have the oil changed then see if it is still leaking.  If not, Late Model Throttle here I come!

                          A very safe and strong 442whp. Not too happy but there is room for improvement and my A/F is consistent across the rpms which was my main goal with this dyno run. It looks like the TRM tune is in the 11-12s and will be safe to crank up the boost. My 1st dyno run I was below 10s due to vacuum leaks so this is a good thing.

                          I'm at 13psi. What do you guys think I should do to up the boost? Spring by spring and inch my way up or get a boost controller? Taking the wastegate out is a pain in the butt.

                              AFRs are nice and smooth, assuming the dyno doesnt have a crazy smoothing factor in place. 

                              Do you have a compressor map for your turbo? otherwise what are the specs and I will try to find one

                                440whp? Yea I would be a bit disappointed. Use a wastegate spring that's the lowest boost you want and use an electric boost controller on top of that for mad boostages. Aren't you running a 40r? Man I'm not that impressed. Turn up the boost and wake it up! You aren't even getting into the good part :)

                                This thing is a beast and I can't wait to see it in person!

                                  I will turn it up for sure.  I might wait until this weather warms up.  There are times that I spin in 5th gear with the cold and salt on the road.

                                    I'm not too good with dyno charts yet but aren't the HP and Torque lines supposed to intersect at a consistent spot at a lower rpm?

                                      Interesting.....  call them up and ask why they dont intersect at 5252 RPM.

                                      EDIT: It looks like the Y-axis on the left and right sides is unequal. If you equated them, it would probably intersect at 5252

                                        I guess the computer auto-scales the graph to make it more "readable".

                                          Just watched the videos
                                          Goodness, that thing squats down pretty hard on the rollers there  O__O

                                          Everyone knows it and has said it, but you have put together a pretty serious machine!

                                          also

                                          your coat reminded me of this.
