well actually i took it out for its maiden voyage yesterday. i was real concerned with burning up my new 700R4 so i took it pretty easy. i think there might not be enough tension off idle on the TV cable. when i adjusted it i basically adjusted it at WOT. so im going to have to tinker with that. im also getting the fuel injection dialed in. it needed alot more fuel in gear at idle than i did before with the manual (obviously) especially with the low stall speed of the convertor. I also need to rebleed the brakes. the pedal is way too soft for me. im thinking i have some air trapped in the line lock.

but i did get on it once...i just couldnt resist. i manually shifted it. from a rolling start i put er down, she took off as expected, i slap it into second...got a nice chirp then WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHh the boost came and the tires broke lose...my eyes lit up, i quickly countersteered to keep her straight... it actually kind of scared the crap out of me (in a good way) so i quickly backed off and shifted into 3rd and then checked my pants. the data log showed 8.5 pounds of boost. also alot of smoke at WOT. im hoping its simply that the rings arent seated...i doesnt really have that much time running but seems i have read that moly rings seat quickly. we will see.

next its re bleed the brakes...re adjust the TV cable..a couple tweeks to the fuel map.


i do plan on getting some video of it.

Are you breaking in the new motor/rotating assembly with that turbo? We always use junk turbos to break in new motors. Any small shavings could possibly make their way into the turbo, and next thing you know, bye bye turbo. Hope that smoke at WOT under boost is not the case in this instance .
