Message	I am so frustrated with this BS. I just upgraded to full T-28's and when I did we replaced everything, and I mean every-fucking-thing, related to the turbos. Oil lines, water lines, nuts, washers, bolts, hoses.......all of it. Now I think my Z is fucking slower that it was with the stock turbos. WTF??? One of the MAJOR problems is that the majority of the time when I punch it, it just chokes. Whats really weird is that if I feather the gas, like give it just a little, once it gets into the turbos it will pull. It's just getting there thats the problem. I just dont get it......we did everything "right". Replaced the EFI harness, replaced plugs(colder), replaced all the seals/gaskets we could get our hands on, cleaned everything, all by the book. I also ported my exhaust manifolds and installed 555's. I guess my fuel system needs attention.....sound reasonable? Any thoughts/ideas...... TIA Incidently, just to add insult to injury I got smoked on the freeway by a 5.0. I should have owned his ass on the open freeway *sniff* ============================================================================ Being overrated is overrated.
