did you look at the speedo?

ya 5psi is pretty much barely overcoming the huge restrictions in the exhaust

sounds like a beast.

just because its a 5 liter doesn't mean you have to make it 5 psi...up the boost

Sounds like the tranny is ------- up. Any plans for a manual swap or some work to the auto?

Congrats on finishing it up and getting it going. I'll be there to pick it up in a few days. Keep her clean for me.

def t5 swap

the trans isnt fucked, just one of the trans cooler lines i made came loose, and it drained A LOT of the fluid out, im still feeding it fluid to get it back to normal... you gotta fill the pan, shift the gears around, or drive it around let it shift through the gears, to get fluid everywhere in the valve body.

its better now...

the wgs on those small turbos are too small for the engine

some old guy in a crossfire was next to me, i got on it in 2nd... 5psi, into 3rd... 8psi! ------ came alive i tell you... put me in the seat hard... put about 6 bus lengths on him 1/2 of 3rd gear...

also, it was rainy in a different part of the highway, and i tried to get on it in 3rd and the tires broke loose and i almost went sideways lmao. drivin it in the rain sucks *****.

no plans for higher boost, im happy at the 5psi, and 8psi creep in highgear :-p at least until i get an intercooler
