Finally got the 88' TII Garrett all done. The turbine housing and wastegate can and arm got media blasted, everything else got cleaned up, including every single line.

[Dave]

Thanks guys. Since the 14.97 run, I upgraded to a 2.5" exhaust with a dump tube, so I can uncap right after the downpipe A tranny cooler, stiff rear shocks, and now the Garrett...on drag radials uncapped with 12psi it should go 13.9s, if not 14.0s.

PS: Good to hear Al! Youll have to come by some time and check out our new place and bring the van I wanna see it.

lol We'll see, high 13's will be it for me.

[The Barron]

LOL!! D-OH!! I DO have my work cut out then!

[Dave]

Well to let you all know how it runs, it now holds boost in 1st gear until about 5,000RPMs, then when in 2nd it creeps to cut out. I have a bad can, it was not installed right when installed 2 years ago on my dad's van. See how my can is tilted wrong?

[The Barron]

Ya, the accuator arm,its not suppose to be on that much of an angle right?

To be honest.. If I broke into the 13's.. I'd be STUNNED! I think your safe.

[BIG PSI]

HOLD ON there DAVE-----remember that DAD is always watching and you are VERY limited to 14.50 and NO more. Trust me on that, your car keys are only a PULL away.

Best Regards

Its not so much the arm angle, trust me on that. You should see what mine looks like, Its funky looking as I am running a ford SV and a hybrid turbo, its almost at 90 deg at one point, lol!
