One of these has been on my wishlist after reading about their "Freakoboost" on their website. Of course, they gave plenty of other things that make the list as well! Thanks for sharing and making us all drool...[emoji12]!

Data logs sent to mike for full 3rd gear pulls. I'm expecting that he'll shoot me my first version for the GT's and other stuff in the next few days.

Now, just to get off my wrenches and get the GT's installed. Shooting to get it done by the end of the week. Fingers crossed "life" doesn't get in the way!
 
Good luck man. Put a little buffer time in there for issues. Have you started spraying every single nut and bolt with PB Blaster yet? I'd be doing that daily

Mike reviewed my last set of logs and has given me the base tune for the GT's. I'm really itching to get them done now. Screw work!

Turbo's and manifolds done!

Started at 7:30 and was rolling again by 4:30. No real surprises. All the bolts came out without issue. Had to fight one of the coolant lines off the drivers side turbo.

Got it all buttoned up and then realized I forgot to put in the 170* t-stat, opps. Probably just going to leave it out and see how things go. I can always throw it in later and get an adjusted tune.

Planning on getting the Cat-back and intake done tomorrow.

Big thanks to RBrown for some last second torque specs!

Pics for proof!




SPD adapter on top of the oem one. A bit of a difference.

Took the truck for a bit of a spin today. Seems really strong with the "stock" tune from MPT. Certainly a different power band than the oem Turbo's.

I started fabing up a little adapter plate for the MAP sensor on the AFE intake. It isn't the prettiest, but I think it will work.

Yeah, I guess you could say that.

The power seems more linear, not just a gob of torque on the bottom. I like it so far.

I'm only running a base tune, so I don't think it's making anymore power than with the 91 PRX by any stretch.

I was able to get the AFE Stage 2 intake on and the 3" MBRP cat-back. Not sure on the sound just yet, I need to drive it a bit more.

I need to post my logs. I know exactly what you're saying. Once you hit ~2200 rpm you never stop making power to the top.

Out of town for the rest of the week, so Mike should have a revised tune by the time I'm back for me to load up.

Pretty impressed with the power, but not sure of the noise now coming from the front (Intake) or the rear (exhaust). Gonna have to drive it a bit more and see if I can get used to it.

As ryan told me about the BOV, you get used to it.

Made my wife take the truck for her errands today. She wasn't expecting what she got to say the least. Good thing she likes driving the truck, when I let her

My wife is driving my truck today and tomorrow with the EFR's on. I'm having full blown panic attacks all day

I like the BOV, it's actually way quieter than I thought it would be. The intake however is really loud and would be tolerated if I could hear the turbos a bit more. Just sounds like an obnoxious vacuum to me.

The exhaust has a decent tone to it, but I would prefer it a bit quieter. Probably going to try ans mod it a bit before it gets pulled.

Thankfully, my wife hates driving my truck. But she does have to drive it on Sunday to come and get me from the airport. Boy am I gonna hear about it...

I've been driving for what three weeks now. Still thinks it too obnoxious. You have the turbosmart too right?

I have the Tial. I think the Tial sounds more like the "VTA" mod of the eBOV. It's pretty quiet and unless it's a hard pull off the throttle, don't even hear it in the cab.

I think the Turbosmart has a nice "crisp" sound, but reminds me more of a import BOV.

It is louder with the GT's, but I'm assuming that just because they are moving more air.

Did some more data logs last night with the new set up. Seems like MPT has it pretty well dialed in for the fuel I am running. Just need to get on the Dyno to see what she pulls.
