Thanks. I have
finally got it to a point where I have a hard time touching it. I mean, making more adjustments/modifying. I adjust the boost ever so often, but that is it. I have it opening around 10 psi. It seems just right for the truck. I can still lay ass in it, but it is still very drivable.
I would like to put a blow-off valve on it. When I am in boost and I let off to shift all of that compressed air reverses and makes the turbo impeller flutter. If you listen close to the videos, you can hear it.
I go WOT almost every time I drive it! To me, that is the beauty of a turbo. Your wastegate controls the psi, so WOT is no big deal.
Power?.... I tell people, it feels twice as fast as compared to the stock 250. I would ROUGH estimate between 250-300HP.
Holley 350? A turbo engine does not move more air, it just compresses it. So, the carb should be sized for the engine in NA form.
All the best,
Boucher
