After several drinks during the install the new TC is in and is working better than advertised. Stall speed on motor alone ( IC pipe off) is 3700 rpm. By the reaction of the turbo during this extensive power braking episode, I noted that the turbo started its up-cycle after @1.5 seconds and I got out of it before the neighbors got concerned about the high pitched screaming from the driveway.
Only three snafu's during the process though.
1) The TPS fell off, literally. It was being held on by the atx case and both screws were GONE. Well one was found on the floor...
2)The car would shut off randomly after install was complete. Relays were clicking and the injectors were pulsing eratically after the erroneous turn off. It has not done it since I wiggled the harness and pissed on the tires.
3) I consumed 23 rum and cokes with two shots each of the CAptaIn! Every time I poop it is like mudd. My butt hates me right now.
I did test drive the car with a passanger and first spins once boost is online, once second is engaged the drag radials break loose and a momentary flash of rpm is noticed ( @ 1 sec) and the speedo flashes up 20 mph and stay there until the car catches up. Third was not shifted to due to lack of room. Overall, the TC is excellent and should hold up well. Time to finish the meth system and turn the boost back up to an acceptable level. 12spi sucks.
I forgot to mention the addition of the 34,000 lb atx cooler. The trans will be hard to overheat now! I can now tow 48,000 lbs with no affect on tranny temp! YEA"H!
