The whistle sound sweet.. open wastegate not so much.. Goin by the muffler shop tom to get a 1.75" ran from the wastegate back to a muffler. Hopefully it will be pleasant to get in boost without blowing my ears out.

 

Oh and By the way, adding water to the W/A Intercooler helps alot!!!


Without water IATs were about 135-145ish.. Added water and the TVS HX, IATS are Ambient or within 5*..

 

So do you run a heat exchanger too or just water from the tank to your cooler? I'd like to do an a/w cooler on mine but scared of how hot everything would get just driving around

 

Yea, i built a ice box/ reservior but its loaned out.
So right now, its just Pump, HX, IC, back to the pump with one them inline 'T's to get the air out.

Same setup i was running with the STS \/

 

So far yesterday and on the way to work this morning the IATs were within 5* ambient.
Ill know how good it works on the way home with it good and heat soaked..

 

Good to hear man! In for vids...

 

On the way home yesterday the IATs started out at 120* and got down around 10* above ambient in 5miles. So looks like its working.

Towing the Tahoe home this evening, thank goodness i finally got the Wideband workin and the tune halfway squared away.

 

I stopped by the exhaust shop yesterday and got the guy to bend me some pipe to go from my wastegate to past the Trans crossmember.

I ended up putting my wastegate on the crossover on the driver side between the trans and cab.. fit perfect with plenty of room all the way around it.




the guy gave me a decent size 2" muffler and a 2" turn down too.
So this evening ill be able to get the wastegate quiet hopefully.. thing is stupid loud!!

 

Also, my fancy drain line contraption




I had to snake it around the AC compressor and it makes one last 45* bend and goes straight up to the turbo.

 

Dont mount your wastegate like this...

Boost with the cutout open is stupid
Boost by gear pretty much.
1st gear its 5psi
2nd gear is 15psi
3rd gear it goes to 25psi and i let out before it went any higher..
