Default Spoolin's big secret revealed!

Had opportunity to meet up with Spoolin and check out his newest FI project. Mind you it's not cleaned up and polished but it is fully functional.





Also enjoyed driving my truck for a few hours today up the 880 getting an ave 18.9 gallons on the way up. A little boosted entrance ramp stop and go's and a layover at In'n'Out gave me a trip average of 17.5mpg. Not too bad for not having screwed with my truck for 2 years!

More pics coming.

As for the Spoolin thing.

I thought the big secret was he's bi. We ready knew that.

Bill, u still enjoy that truck & u know it. It knocks down good MPG, looks good, & "supposed" can beat an M5.

Bottom line, keep it.

Spoolin, watch out for turbo lag.

Oh, I love my truck. Runs like a champ, very low maintenance. Like I said, I haven't touched the tune in like 2 years.

And geez, I guess a 3 foot turbocharger is commonplace these days!
