Hmm I need to upgrade my filter setup...mine is currently a 4" intake tube to the filter. When I had my 76 (exact turbo you have) taking the filter off gave me a solid 50hp. I only have 7.5" from the turbo to the trimmed fan shroud though, so it will be close.

Not as close as you think. Theres more room by your shroud because of the curve of the elbow. If the elbow was squared off where it 90s then it would be a tighter fit... You understand what im tryin to explain? Ha ha ha

Well I did some tuning this afternoon mainly re adjusting the main VE table and started some part throttle low boost runs.

But the first time I went full throttle in 2cd gettin on the highway i was like

Had to get out of it when I hit 3rd cuz I saw boost shoot up even more and I reviewed the log and it was a little lean so I think I'm dropping fuel pressure and I'm Def out of injector. Swapped in my do7 nozzle for a do14 so I'm running 2 14s now. Time for twin walbros now
