Friends don't let friends paint their valve covers blue! 
I like sandblasting to natural and handpainting (pretty easy to do) the raised letters for contrast in your favorite color; finish with clear enamel (good to at least 200*F) for low-maintenance cleaning.
Long story shortened.... Wastegate setting to loose so over spooling primary (bottom) turbo by 10 psi
Also TAG (or any laminar flow straighteners) not needed on secondary. Reason - air from Primary is compressed and therefore being jammed into secondary with more than enough force. TAG probably reducing airflow at 65 psi (WOT).

On a normally aspirated engine, a CTD intake airhorn would be like

The Vision wheel that cracked is rated for 3415#, but I'm sure it's cast.... I know it's made in China.

)I got another new guy interested in our next GTG - should make 2 newbies for April Dyno Day. He had an auto '05 with an Edge Juice, but no gauges, intake/exhaust or clue what he was doing (1st diesel)... I want him to take a hit off of someone's Smarty Crack Pipe!
I may purchase Crack Pipe SW this week, along with the Quad Race...
You're OK - I don't think anyone else noticed the drooling - especially mine, every time I see some lucky SOB with an empty bed!

Thanks guys for the Yea's & Nay's. Keep em coming, please!
I got Micah (ODRA) to start a list for the HPP Dyno day. Gave him the five NTXDTR names I was sure would be dynoing. Anyone else want on the list...let me know. Sure to be hugh crowd at that price so we probably want to run early-ish and back to back... which Micah kindly agreed to.

Rowland I like the black better than not black.....but I'd probably have to vote for a 6'' tip on the exhaust.
I'd definately like to be on the list for dyno!
