Probably the tubes. Are lines oversized also. Keep on it. The smoothest ideling CTD I ever heard was a close to stock 12v. It purred!

Maybe more air from new bigger (faster reving) top turbo? All the fuel in the world isn't going to help rev speed without lots of air. Just a thought.

RPMs are a tad too hesitant to drop after getting off the throttle, going to back off on the GSK nuts a click and see if that helps Balance that with the GSK and Idle adjustment.....Harry Piers told me how to set them up and its been 100% for me so far....don’t need to measure...just loosen up the nuts all the way...then retighten until you get engagement...then go 2 clicks. That’s it....


Holy moly can it rev fast!! My vp(S) never could get the revs up that fast?!?! Dont really know the reasoning for that?GSK!!!! haha.....



Think that is it.... Having fun so far!
Thanks for the B-day wishes......only 31 so far.....haha.....And back at ya HotFox

Dan I figured you were going to say you were 29 as well but this wasn't the first time to celebrate turning 29.

i was incorrect about the CNBC info, they are filming today, and plan to do a live feed for tomorow when they climb the turbine, and throw in some of our video from today when they filmed us on lab equipent. some info will also be on the CNBC website.

ps. i got to climb our turbine yesterday for the first time and WOW what a hike. but it was a blast, and a very interesting piece of equipment.
