looks good while you have that out you should replace the intercooler metal pipes with heater hose and flush out the intercooler,and heat exchanger o and if you need a throttle body airfoil i got one-cant use it with the 7th injector setup ---

All the heater hoses are gonna be replaced before summer, again, cheap insurance. and i’ve already flushed the intercooler system, and radiator, and filled with new fluids. ---

1 get classic plate and become emmission exempt 2 overboost with stock set up(turbo/dowmpipe) yes, unless you enlarge the wastegate hole to bigger size and get an externaly gated downpipe ---

after bringing it home, i’ve driven it, about 200 miles. beyond that its been sitting, and insurance wont let me drive it until March, so right now i cant test anything, i’m running on speculation. I do know that it was overboosting to over 20psi at about 3/4 throttle. It does have a boost controller, but i have not been able to find any info on it. I figure if i can get it back close enough to stock, then start toying with it. But i’m not really looking to built a race motor, or have it break into the 12s. its a rebuilt motor, but the truck has pretty low mileage, so i dont think its worth my while to start spending money on high performance parts for it. I just want it to be reliable, or well, as reliable as a SyTy can be. ---

Thinkin about it now, i’ll probably setup a soild boost tube, that’ll run from the turbo to the IC. and weld a BOV on it. And set it aside, then after i run the truck for a few days, i’ll see if the problem persists, if so, i’ll put the pipe on. like so ![http://www.centergc.org/albums/SYCLONE-2932/IMG_0511.sized.jpg](http://www.centergc.org/albums/SYCLONE-2932/IMG_0511.sized.jpg) ---
