Wow been awhile since i did anything to the truck.

Anyways it has been almost 1 year since i installed the turbo. It has taken about that long to work out all the bugs and tweak some things. This is actually my first time tuning a FI vehicle so that was rather slow going.

The truck has run has been a blast to drive and i have had no real issues.

Sooooo i figured it was time to finally up the boost so i ordered a AMS-500 dual stage boost controler. Still trying to figure out where to mount everything and measuring for all the -3 teflon braided lines to hook everything up.

Cool bud! How much boost are you planning to run and how much are you running right now?

yep i know. All my air lines are like that. I used to have all rubber lines and it worked fine until one died, that is when i switch them all over so know i don't have to worry about it.

Also it realy isn't that expensive. One of the lines are like $15. I buy them premade at a circle track race shop.

I got everything all plumbed up just working on the wiring. So i will be able to run 3 stages of boost. Off the spring 6lbs, stage 1 8lbs, stage 2 12lbs. Something like that.
