Message	numbers were low as well. The turbos were chalking up a bit of smoke (freshly rebuilt Sport500's, rebuilt by JWT) on the first dyno visit, and I only took it up to about 15psi. The numbers were still a bit low at that time, but I aborted the tuning and only made like 4 pulls due to the smoke. I suggested to get some cats on the car to have backpressure for the turbos, which actually took care of the smoking issue, but there wasn't any difference in power between the two that I noted at the 15psi power level. I'm sure at higher boost there would be a larger difference though. [ ashspecz.com ] [ agpowers@bellsouth.net ] Enthusiasts soon understand each other. --W. Irving. Are you an enthusiast?
