Default one thing after another

Earlier this week I found that the K27 needed to be rebuilt so I removed it and installed a spare K26 I had laying around. The car has a powerful mid range but the top end is sad. After a few spirited runs against a twin turbo ls1 I am no longer getting boost and it sounds like the exhaust has a leak. Looks like ill track that down and just install my 60-1

The 60-1 would be alot better of a turbo then the 27/8

A lot of goodies are being installed this weekend, a dyno chat should be posted within a week or 2 if all goes as planned.

60-1 is pretty laggy. 37-4000 rpm spool. Of course the top end kicks hard though. - had a hi fi as my first turbo upgrade.

Oh yeah, very laggy in my 2.5L, Im hoping my 2.8L spools it quicker.
