[QUOTE="euroford, post: 1524144, member: 17667"] Yeah dude, its working out quite nicely! I did the same drive again yesterday and performance appears to be even better. I'm not sure if DA was lower, if the turbo is breaking in or if i'm getting all of my clamps fully bedded in. When installing a turbo or messing with the charge piping, I try to drive it and then give all the clamps a re-tourqe for 3-4 cycles. I've found this to make a good difference, and then i'll be boost leak free for a good long time. Max boost is about the same, but its coming on quicker and higher in each gear. Over 30 in 1st and reaching 38ish in 2nd and 3rd with ease. boy you gotta be bang on with your clutch and shifter mojo, it goes through 1st and 2nd insanely fast. Not much time to actually watch the gauges and I've broken the tires free a couple of times. not bad with sticky 35" duratracs on dry pavement. To not be too rosie about the setup, my one minor critique is the intake plumbing. The E99 charger comes with the same intake boot as later model powerstrokes, thus its a little bit of a pain to get on and didn't align everything with the factory mounting points. Even still, i got it to all fitup just fine with my AFE intake and discussed this with KC. I believe they are working on some intake boot revisions, but I wouldn't let this put you off it all. old turbo vs. new [ATTACH=full]176869[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
