Hope you have better luck changing out the OPSU than me on my K5. I broke the fitting off at the threads trynig to change it, not sure how it is on an LS block, but the TBI350 uses a brass fitting that breaks very easily.

I broke mine on my TVS install. I even had breeze and xlr8nss helping me put the TVS in. I as well trimmed brackets and everything for it to fit, yet still whacked that sensor. That stupid *** sensor is a POS design anyway. Gotta pull that blower off to get to it. I am sure it broke easier than a new one as the plastic was weakened for time and heat. I am sure you know that sensor has its own damn socket as well. I got one from the auto store and still couldn't use it because the firewall is in the way.

Get the blower off, sensor on and put on a bigger turbo and get back tuning!!! CHOP CHOP!!!

Did a little more driving last night, still goes lean when ever I first get into boost, looks like I need to play with the new transition tables I have in EFILive now . This thing has NO lag! goes straight to 10 psi with just a 3.3 pulley. Feels pretty good, just need to get it fattened up some more and finish wiring up the intercooler coolant pump and put some water in it, IAT's were around 75 crusing and only went to 95 with 10 psi of boost and NO water in the intercooler, lol. But it was only 42* outside,

Woohoo! Get your *** down to AZ now so I can go for a ride! Get a video of the boost gauge in that thing. I want to see what instant 10psi looks like.
