Sweet, that is great to hear! I really wish that I had not spent close to $400 last night on a new alternator, battery and other supplies It will have to wait for a while till I can replenish my funds.

I did not know that your high pressure turbo was that small. It seems to be more restrictive than the Black Top! Yet you get amazing results, no doubt because of your big turbo and tuning. It is good to know that I'm not going to be in boost on every small hill while lean burning
Its pretty small.lol Whats great about a turbo compound system is it acts like a VGT turbo on steroids. Great boost down low in the rpm when wanted, with great flow at the top of the rpm range.
