Is that possible without damaging the turbo? The turbo would still be working on the exhaust side would it cause any issues? I could put the 1# spring in the wastegate. There is a very slight chance I might go to Dallas for work. I could get a tune in Texas seems to be where most the turbo truck stuff comes from.

This won't work i guess without load you can overspin the turbo easily.

I cant drive it anywhere because the tune that melted my piston is still in the truck. If I put the 1# spring in the waste gate and take it easy i will probably ok for a short trip but atleast a 6 hour drive to the next nearest tuner in watertown. Just cant see using them without finding some people with turbo trucks that can verify there ability to tune a turbo truck.

I think if you got an Autocal with a blackbear tune he can get you close with an initial tune and then you do some logs with the Autocal and sweeten it up. Justin has tuned hundreds of forced induction vehicles. Right now this is your best option, even if you don't do blackbear.

If you are willing to travel a little way, Karl Performance in Des Moines, Iowa does good work. Chris is their tuner. He has done tons of boosted LSx stuff.
