can we get some more views of the gauges.... maybe with the door closed from outside or an overall dash view please?

Steve's car sounds VERY VERY VERY mean with that different turbo in it. If you think it sounds mean now you should just hear it when it is driving around and the turbo is spooling. One hell of allot louder than mine, that is for sure. With my setup you can hear the turbo when I get on the gas a little bit. When driving Steve's car around you hear that damn thing nearly all the time! You guys will crap your pants once Steve posts a video when actually driving the car. I have my own turbols and when I took it for the last testdrive after doing a tweak and peak session I couldn't get over the badass sound it had.

Posted by: JWerner2

I still cant get it to work.

Can you hoste the video in some other way. I can view your homepage or what ever it is but I cant select anything.

Posted by: NYC LS8

You try right clicking the link and "save target as"?

I'm glad you got it to work for you. I used my Canon Powershot A710 and Windows Moviemaker.

this is getting freaking rediculous.

how come every time someone turbo charges there LS, they disappear forever when they say there gonna post dyno numbers.

I WANT NUMBERS!!!!!

Posted by: pektel

They're too busy driving their newly turbo'd LSes to sit at their computers!

Posted by: pektel

Or maybe he's saving up the big$$$ to get it dyno tuned. I'm sure that's not inexpensive...

I WANT NUMBERS!!!!!

Steve and Cameron already posted their power numbers. What more do you want? As for track times? Well some people either do not go to the track or they do not go that often. And if they do go with a combo like this it will take a few times to get used to the car to post any solid results with it. Simmer down a little.

If you want numbers that bad then build your own system and get your own numbers to post if it is that important to you.

Cameron is dealing with a blown engine right now - > http://www.lincolnvscadillac.com/showthread.php?t=44768

Steve was dealing with boost issues - > http://www.lincolnvscadillac.com/showthread.php?t=43798

Sounds like Robert's on a new design, selling off his first one.

It's going to take time for these first projects to get sorted, the good news is that there is projects and people trying things.

Mine is sorted, I just do not have enough time to put the final touches on it with the other projects going on right now. I am satisfied enough with the TurboLS for now that I am in no big hurry to tweak it any further just yet.

Steve, has most of his boost issues fixed but is having tune issues regarding his TBW response and engine loading. That is one area where tuning a Gen2 becomes more of a pita than a Gen1.

People need to realize that this is just the way it goes with custom systems; especially with a more complex vehicle like the LS. This stuff doesn't happen overnight even if the build itself only takes 1 week.

That sounds great. I like it.
