Ok...finally got my 68 VGT from RCD installed last night/this morning. I've only driven it a little but I will continue to add to this as I get updated tunes, bp gauge, track times, dyno #'s, etc. I'm sure Gare will chime in too when he gets his on.
Idle: sounds exactly like my regular powermax.
City Driving: still builds boost exactly like my old powermax. it comes on right about 1200-1300 rpms. no smoke at all under normal driving unless you get under the turbo. zero lag under normal acceleration.
Moderate driving: boost still comes in just fine. once you get above 1/2-3/4 throttle there is some haze but once you're up to speed, no smoke. still pulls just like my old powermax at this point.
WOT: down low, still feels the same as the regular powermax. once you get to the top of the pedal, you can definitely tell it's pulling harder though. it pegged my 40 psi boost gauge and was still pulling hard. smokes hard with my 100% nozzles but I wasn't really expecting it to clean it up totally. I'm thinking with 40+psi boost that back pressure is probably sky high but I'll be putting a guage on it soon. seat of the pants definitely felt stronger than the regular pmax set up.
this was all done on my original tune for my 190/100's and regular powermax. still waiting on tunes from RCD. I originally dyno'd 534 with the old setup and at WOT, this does feel a bit stronger. should hopefully have some #'s at the Ennis races. like I said, I'll continue to update this with temps, pressures, etc.
