StAndrew's Build

Yeah Gadget's personal help has been known to be quite lacking... even if you do buy URD goodies.
From what I hear, the bigger the injectors are, the harder they are to tune in closed loop, but it's not impossible, and at least you'll know you're getting your money's worth in labor costs lol

 

Yeah he's not big on the customer service. But he loves to show off to fellow "professionals." If your tuner calls he may get more than he bargained for. A local dyno shop here used to call him for questions on a 1st gen they did.

 

No tune yet. 3rd child on the way and had to buy a van. I can say it pulls very nice at about .5lbs of boost.

 

Lol .5 seriously?

 

Haha! I try to keep the boost gauge under 0 until it's tuned...

 

You can have free boost right now with a 4 psi WG spring. with the FPR hooked up to a boost ref, the stock fueling will easily keep up with 4-6 PSI @ 11-12 AFR

 

Good lord...

 

I have the 255LPH fuel pump but would rather not try it without a good tune. I really like how it drives though. 5VZ has good low end power but it flatlines when trying to merge onto the highway. The turbo starts to spool at the appropriate time giving a very smooth acceleration.

What? I don't like taking changes. Not interested in blowing a motor at this point.

 

Cmon, you can twist that manual boost control up a wee bit? Dudes are running 17psi on stock internals. I think you would be super fine at 4.....you will get a lot of pull at 4 too!

 

I have 240k on my truck, been boostin for over 2 years and I drive it hard with no tune... you'll be fine
WOT pulls are consistently 11-12 AFR

 

Just give me the turbo stuff. It needs used..haha

 

Its going through an extended break in period

Im going to tear the whole thing down this winter; lots of shit to install. Got to do belts and timing belt, flex-a-lite fan, new alt, new wiring, etc...

 

well....since you're takin it all off anyways...


just toss it in a big box and send it my way. You don't even have to gift wrap it. It'll still be a great xmas present

 

Not gonna happen. But since I like you so much, Ill cut you a deal on the URD Port Fueler. Ill take $500 off MSRP and sell for $2000

That's like the price of one stock length LCA

 

Well since the urd one is only 1250 I'll pass on that deal...haha

 

They drop the price? Must be a groupbuy or something. Better jump on that shit

 

yea i guess they did. Still there though..and i'll never have that kinda cash to throw around for a damn fuel rail. Pmed Gadget about it a long time ago. Never got a reply.

 

I don't think he's on much anymore... Could call but I doubt he's ever in a giving mood...

 

He has never been one to reply to PM's, in my experience. Emails and phone calls.

 

Super ripoff for a piece of aluminum!!!!!! Might as well f me in my ass while your at it.
