Cleaned the heat exchanger and replaced the weeping o rings from hard line behind the water pump. Did a cleanup of all the parts off along with installing the Bassani mid pipe.

Turned her up to 21#, blew the tires off once the boost kicked in, hit 7100 rpm, and sent a log to Korn. Targeting 23-24 # boost. Only at 10* timing right now. I should have went TT years ago....

That’s impressive!!! When does it really start pulling, mid-range or higher RPMs?

Mid-range. Once they start spooling boost goes up FAST. I'll also hit 15# at mid throttle up a hill, turbos like to be loaded.

I redid most of the vacuum lines. I had to shorted the line from the premade brake booster to the inlet so there's some wrench marks. I'll clean it all up better once the truck/bay gets painted.

We are back from vacation in MS. The truck's nearly ready to crank and finish tuning. I just need to run the 10an line to under the rear of the cab and mount the china catch cans. Then she's getting a for sale sign. If it doesnt sell (I dont think it will) by the time the body shop can repaint it, it's getting repainted, cowl hood and a much higher list price. The new 400z's are looking mighty nice.

Just installed front drilled and slotted rotors, calipers, and pads. All new hub bearings, etc. Got the rotors cheap ($84/set). Have a mechanic who did all the work for $75! At that price, why would I install them myself? Appears he did a fine job.

And just how, exactly, do you know that they're cheap? You have ESP or something? Maybe, just maybe, he bought qual-e-tee parts.
