,

my D66 install is all done. :sweet



A decent road test will have to wait until at least tomorrow. Then I'll get a better idea of smoke amounts, during start, idle and different chip settings.

I did take it for a easy going trip to Papa Murphy's to get a pizza for supper. I just wanted to see if everything was working OK after sitting idle for almost 2 months. But there is definately more SOTP pull and that was in my "econo" setting on the chip. I might get a better test run tomorrow, but I got a new HD flatscreen for Xmas :open , a digital cable box and there's football on tomorrow.:teef :nfl

FWIW, the Car Quest donut gaskets recommended by Bean for the up-pipes seem to be working good. The exhaust brake is making some good noise at the tailpipe at idle which is a good indicator of a lack of exhaust leaks upstream of the turbo.

Some sound clips :turbo and pics :photo would be great TG

I took some pics a couple weeks ago before getting busy with the holidays. You can see them HERE.

As far as sound, it doesn't really sound any different than the stock early 99 turbo, which is what the D66 is made from from. It is a modified stock turbo. I took some pics showing the differences HERE.

You are tuffer than me :crumm I like to work inside where it is warm but you did :GRD :sweet

It wasn't as bad as fixing B-52's outside on the winter.
If a B-52 is broke and it's -20* F, you gotta go out and fix it.
:freezing :crumm :cold 4

If it's +20*F outside and my truck's broke:
