John, Thanks for letting me be a part of it. I expect it will get some magazine coverage soon. :)

Can you get a better pic of the pedestal? I'm thinking about different options for my planned turbo set up and this might be an option.

Also love the looks of the turbo, nice work!

Yes I will get some more pics. Rick can fix you up. I have one of his non-wastegated T4 pedistals listed for sale if you are interested.

Not sure I want to line up next to you anytime soon, lol! That should make some power.

What's the reason for the wastegate? You going to spray it? That truck is going to rip!

6 Blade 4271R ? Be interesting to see what your results are to compare to what we seen?

It breathed on its own this morning. Sounds wicked. Pedistal and wastegate need a better flange seal though (gotta come back off:(). We are snake bit with this one but it has shown a very brief glimpse of what is to come. Should be fun.

The new combination made 2 dyno pulls while at TS.

794hp @ about 30lbs of boost on fuel

895hp @ at just over 40lbs of boost with a powershot solenoid

It needs a lot of little tweeks but it is a good start. Have not had a chance to look at any of the data logs.

Big thanks to Josh at Smokin Diesel, the Precision Turbo team (it was good to meet you guys at TS), Rick & TJ Lance, and Mike Bodine.

Also big thanks to all the Deville Diesel team for the last minute trans swap wednesday afternoon and hauling me and my truck to & from!

Some updated pics - Real Racing Beadlocks and M/T 33 x 10.5W slicks. I have a set of matching front runner wheels on order (can't wait).

Have a cool graphics/wrap lined up as well (no pics coming soon).

Swapping in a looser Precision converter Friday morning, testing Friday evening and then racing at the second points series Blackout diesel race on Saturday. Will be the first time on the track since last October. Lots of changes since then so it should be interesting.

John, you need to tell Wally world to quit rollingback prices and sponsor you a$$!
