Default Got the Turbo up and Running.

Now I am just working on the tune and maybe an over-boost problem. No Dyno numbers yet. Had some, but they were 2 tunes old and prior to the break in. It is an STS turbo with a Roe Racing tune. Can't wait to get back to the track. Best was 12.7 N/A on street tires.

Just read them. I don't usually respond to comments on the videos. The first has no clue. The viper is N/A. And the second one doesn't understand that 2 turbos cost more money than one. You got to draw the line somewhere.

Install was done at DTP racing. Right now I am running 5 PSI. I am looking at a meth injection and electronic boost controller with a switch inside. Then I would hit the switch to go from 5 to 8 PSI with meth. Still working it all out. The electronic controller is still in R&D. These kits are still new.

Very nice looking especially compared to my Rusty STS Project.

You are running two wastegates and still have an overboosting problem? Try a yellow .3 bar spring in one or both of them if they have the red .4 bar springs in them now. I know mine overboosts with the red spring in the wastegate but not with the yellow .3 bar spring. I get 5 psi with the lighter spring and might try to shim it a little to see if I can get 6 to 7 psi for my low boost setting.

Looks great and I am looking forward to track nunbers when you have them.

Pretty sure I got the red ones. When we first started, we were getting 10 PSI. I will check on the yellow one. Thanks,

I was seeing 10 psi at the shift with the red spring as well. Good luck with it.
