    Motor is in and the car is running dyno and tune tomorrow at road race engineering. I tried to give KT motoring another chance. I called for some parts they said they will call me back and never did.

    I called RRE and they had the parts to me in a few days. I'm glad some of you had good experiences with kt but they still haven't called me back.

    maybe i missed it but what crank you running? i'm not familiar with that turbo so did some reading on it. seems to be a nice street turbo. what type of torque you expecting with this set-up? i only did 541 tq on a mustang dyno. do a boost leak test before they start tuning. i didn't and my #s suffered although i hear the dyno was already acting up that day since a week later the computer crashed. can't wait to hear the results.
