Got Juice?

Happy at 300 RWHP with prototype juice, then it got boring again
Edge hooked me up with another 40 RWHP..... happy again
3 months later bored again
Ordered Banks 4".... real happy for about 2 weeks.. then i was again bored.
Edge sends me prototype 'Hot Juice'... happy again for 3 months.... then bored again, dynoed 409 at Diesel Thunder, pretty happy, but bored, but happy again when i won the chev show n shine and highest HP chev, took home a plaque , and 200.00 from bullydog.
Hmmm... 200.00 from bullydog... oohhhh lookie and air intake from AFE....NOT! gotta have the programmer and STACK THE JUICE!
Power pup arrives at Wes's house, we stack it, I am happy again and getting rubber in 3 gears! Dyno at PDR at 544.3 RWHP, really happy all is good
4 months later tranny will not hold the hot juice, DTT installs transgo, me very happy, edge sends me another 45 RWHP and an attitude controller!!!! WOW MAXIMUM HAPPY NOW.
4 months later the transgo that supposedly holds 600 RWHP dies....and takes C1 C2 C3 and C4 out.... total bummer
4 months after that, i ask me slef slef...weren't we gonna stop at 400? slef says yes, but you went over so we only stop at an even number.
DTT is then ready for their trans upgrade... been smiling ever since, BUT really unhappy, because my pyro must be broken... no way can i be over 2000F?
PDR VanAAken Tuned by Mark 'stoopid' box... 550.5 RWHP.. OMG!
Ahh well... next bomb...TURBO! then we will stop if we hit exactly 600 RWHP.

That, Ramen Noodles, and a healthy diet of beer will get you through
college. . . or the school of hard knocks! Actually I always
found the Kraft was a bit pricey, always went with off-brand.
About half the price, and if you're half-lit, you can't taste the
difference anyway. . .

No......you buy the delux Kraft that way you can buy 3 cases of the stuff and you dont have to have Milk and butter on hand. I had to lay off the ramen noodels for all the salt. Not that I have a worry about sodium but I finnaly relized that waking up a couple times a night thirsty enough to drink water outa the dog dish wasnt from the beer dehydration, it was from all the damn ramen noodels.

bury it in your yard somewhere....then build a house over top of
it....THEN, it might be safe.....My guess is you'll blow another one

LMAO run in N/A? Barked my turbo again tonight about 4 times.... something about wet roads, soft tires and RFTTF on 'stoopid' setting. The thing is , no lifting at all, just kept it pinned thru all 5 gears..... darn little IHI is behaving like a chiuaua with an attitude problem. I am beginning to think that i will set my Banks Big Head for 24lbs initial lif to try try try to combat the situation. geez either that or go back to the stock Wastegate actuator...... I have killed a turbo with a Banks actuator, but i really don't feel like 'Banks Blowing' this one.

Just use explosive bolts, Juice. Wire them up to a switch activated by the wastegate at a set PSI limit...that way you can blow the turbo away to safety before you destroy it.

On second thought, that wouldnt work, either. You'd have to have a hole in your hood, or a trap door or something..... http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/smiley29.gif

Crank your wastegate way back and get some NAAAAWS for your extra air duties. Be cheaper than buying turbos and you would probably be the casue of the used Ebay turbo market to drop out, thed be selling for pennies on the dollar if you quit gobbling all the usable ones up. You'ld be cool then too, and get you some of those cool stickers.
