This thread is where I will post updates of my modifications, issues i've had, and potential upgrades I'm considering.  

 

This page is dedicated to @TFaoro, because without him my truck would be bone stock still....

 

To start off, today my VP died.  It took me by surprise, as it gave no indication there was an issue.  But, it threw Death Code P1691, and that's that.  Good thing it died before I bought tires.

 

Is DAP everyone's first choice for a new VP?

Quick update. Threw in new valve springs and an interstage boost gauge, so I can get the wastegate on the secondary dialed in.  I guess if I have the primary in its happy spot and still blow a boot off at half throttle I'm doing something right...

No, it means you have a crappy intake horn

Believe it or not, that boot stayed on.  The one that blew off was from the secondary to the charge pipe.

Joys of compounds. Managed to split a boot lengthwise, so had to jump on a set of vpmax boots. Hopefully now I'll quit blowing the damn things off.
