    Damn. Runs good. So far. Need to tweak my throttle bracket more. Cable keeps catching and making it idle high.

    No. I'll probably get a cable and just leave it attached.



    Just test drove it. Is more power. But not that much. Not that impressed really. I don't have gauges yet so no way of monitoring to see if something is screwy. Also don't have 91 octane in yet. Still was expecting a tad more. My dads is much faster. But power boost is nice. But I was hoping for more

    Hmm odd. Mine was like night and day difference. Hauls ass. You can measure the boost from the urd and a laptop if you don't have a gauge

    No. You could gain a pound or so if you tune good

    I didn't think so. In that case, 91 octane shouldn't make a difference... if it doesn't knock on regular pump gas, there's no need for 91.

    I only run 91. Runs better and less knock

    Just got back. Frank drove fine. Sorta.

    I am not happy with this fucking blower. I have less power now then I did before it. Thought it was my ECU as the 96 doesn't like boost. I swapped it with a 97 and ran the same if not worse. Unplugged the 7th injector and ran a bit better but barely.

    I can't pull hills in 4th anymore and I could accelerate up them in 5th before. Seriously considering pulling it and selling it.



    On top of that. My. 4wd will not engage. Thank god I had a locker. Carrier bearing needs replaced. Clutch is starting to go as well.

    Carrier bearing? In the diff? Or center support bearing in the middle of the rear driveshaft?

    Not ideal, but I drive around with mine unzipped for a while. The straps held it covered pretty good, even on the highway.
