Help with what I got.

[ABOSS]

Just bought my TY and you may knwo i drove it from San Diego CA to MIami FL in under 3 days, This is what i know around 70k in miles well taken care of. the mods I was told of,
Walbro fuel pump
AFPR
Superflo pump
Meth injection it (all in place but disconnected)
HKS blow off : i was boosting hard yesterday and the clip that held it in place came of and lost boost. this happened down the street was able to get home keeping it in the vacume.put it back on and all is fine :rant: explane that to me how did the clip fail and blow off the blow off valve
Ultimate chip: need to be tuned
Gilbert prop shaft
no muffler
Auto meter boost & F/P gauge
ZQ8 steering box
relocated battery
He gave me a new hood release cable, extra fuel filter and new belt
also gave me super chip and a 2 bar to go with it

I have lots of cleaning upto do, but he told me that the ultimate needs to be tweeked
how do i go about doing this

I would also like to know how do i test my tranny and turbo to find out the condition there in or do i just drive it till it breaks ( no no :tdown: )

any imput will help

bought it from Landy

Had a tune up about 7k miles ago

Re: Help with what I got.

what i know :
tranny : it's broke when it's broke - it's fine as long it's fine
turbo : pull intake, grab the turbine and turn - if it spins freely w/ no axial wobble youre fine, if not - go and get a new one , check if WG works proper !!!
you got a boost gauge - use it

reagrds, pat.

I'd say you have alot of good stuff with that truck..
I'll add my two cents in to each item and hope it doesn't annoy yeah


*The Walbro and afpr is a must along with the sureflow pump.. all three of them are pretty much recommended to be done asap.

*The Meth injection well don't hook that up until your sure the truck is running 100% because it'll just make finding your initial problem that much harder..When used this is one of the best bang for the buck modifications for our trucks or force induction cars/trucks in general.

*The ultimate chip should have many different programs to choose from.. mild to wild and with your basic mods you shouldn't need anything more.. you could get a custom chip burned for your mods/truck from a vendor or the many of people on this site that do them but the ultimate should be fine until your ready to get every little tenth of a sec out of your truck possible before adding more mods.

*The No muffler deal can cause over boost depending on your trucks wastegate adjustment/current exhaust system.. Just becareful and watch your boost gauge when going WOT so you don't toast your motor.

*Gilbert shaft is the best.. no one's broken one yet that I know of and i've been thru three others before getting my gilbert and im happy with mine so far so that's a $370 upgrade that should have came standard from the factory that you don't have to worry about.

*The autometer gauges is a good idea because the stock boost gauge is worthless and keeping an eye on fuel pressure is key.. it should be raise one lb per psi of boost

*ZQ8 box is a desired by many upgrade

*Superchips chip and 2bar - I would never concider using these especially since you have an ultimate which is the best off the shelf chip for your trucks so either sell em or when your ready for a custom program have who ever is doing it reburn over that superchips for a savings in cost. Just an idea

Re: Help with what I got.

Depends on what type of tuning. Some people just do tune ups and dial in the fuel pressure and timing. But if you want the truck to run hard for your mods, go to the chips and tuning section of the board and read the tuning stickys by JSM. Those will be the bible for me when I get all the little nitpicky crap taken care of on mine. That should be a good start for you if that's what you want to get into. That's what will bring on the big gains.
