It didn't idle different, you just wanted it to :lol:

 

You got me lol. After working on Tiff's 6.no all weekend it felt like my truck actually responded to treatment. Which was nice.

Yesterday, I took my stealth plate out of hiding and tapped my new VP. It was high time to make some questionable decisions, and I was bored. All I can say after tapping the new pump is holy crap, this truck HAULS A$$. Very happy I went with an SO pump the second time around.  

Also, a 12cm housing has been ordered, so yay torque!

@dripley what I've noticed with the SO pump is more fuel at higher RPMs on canbus, more wiretap, but without the internally advanced pump, slightly slower turbo spool, and as a result, a little more soot. Another thing I noticed is on the quadzilla. With the HO pump I was starting around 82%, and with the SO I'm starting my daily tune at 97%.

Appreciate the info. My pump has almost 200k on it. Hope holds out longer but you never know. It seems my turbo spools a little slower these days but maybe because it has over 400k on it and never been touched. Hopefully they both will take a little bit further. They both seem to be working fine for now. A quad is not in the picture for now either. I bought a Comp a few months before this magic tuner came out.

I agree Nick.  When I thought my HO VP was dying (now I believe it was an issue related to a flash in the quad not getting along with my ECM), I had an SO VP on my upgrade list.  So turns out the upgrade was premature, but I still am glad it happened.

That might explain why with my 75hp injectors I start at high 70 low 80 for my tunes otherwise it will smoke, but yet I can max out canbus around 14-16psi if flored.

Finally got around to putting on the exhaust housing... Happy @TFaoro? lol.  Everything went in very well, and it sure is nice to have a wastegate again (set right at 45 psi and it hits it), though I do miss the sound of the old housing. I bent the actuator bracket to clear the drain tube, as I learned from an old turbo that the actuator rod hits on these style housings, causing the drain tube to be cockeyed and oil leaks everywhere.  

Also, I lost a headlight bulb tonight.  so 4500K is the recommended replacement @Me78569 or @jlbayes?
