Thanks Mike, there's another 60-70 whp left in gutting the cats and turning up the boost, should wake it up quite a bit. The reaction on ppls faces when they hear the bov is priceless, lol.

What blowoff valve are you running?

 

[Saleen S281]

HKS sequential bov, it's in my build pics.

 

[W3bb3r04]

It like the real high pitched ones right? We need vids! lol

 

[Saleen S281]

It's silent till you go into boost, then you hear the turbo and waste gate screaming, then let off the gas and you get rewarded with the bov sound, lol

 

[W3bb3r04]

Mines silent all the time right now... Haha

Yes it is, I was going to take it out for a spin yesterday, started to back up and heard a dragging metal sound, thought it was an exhaust clamp came loose and I was dragging the exhaust. Nope, just the front brakes, need new pads, add another thing to three list.

It never ends. Lol comp is suppose to be shipping the turbo today and overnighting it. Hopefully they will follow through and I'll be tuning with Lito this weekend!

About time! Good luck dude!

what boost are you running now and what are you shooting for with the stock block?

 

[Saleen S281]

Running 6#s right now, going to put it around 8.5-9#s. I'm on the fence about going forged or stay at around 7psi fur a while. Then there's the possibility if selling and starting over before I'm in real deep in it, lol. If I keep it, I want to go forged, cammed, tr6060, upgrade the suspension, brakes, bigger down pipe with a cutout, bigger intercooler, meth, built rearend, etc. that's an easy 10k. Or I could go with something I've been wanting for a long time...who knows.

Dont be crazy...

 

[char259]

well you can build a shortblk for not too bad. The trans are all over the classifieds, so it might not be too bad. all depends on what your end goal is. Im sitting at 10psi right now, been that way for 6 months once I got my belt tension situation under control

 

[Saleen S281]

I'm looking at all my options right now so we'll see.

Ok, there's the teaser video, it's my first drive after the install, Lito said I could go wot on this tune. It's a second gear pull 2500-4800 rpm, you can hear the bov literally two blocks away with my phones camera, lol.
Check my photobucket pics...

Damn straight brother, makes me giggle inside every time...

 

[keoni1984]

I'm glad you have yours up and running. That's one more sexy ass Saleen doin' right with a turbo!

Thanks brotha, can't wait to see your turbo 5 point ohh yeaahh! Lol

 

[Saleen S281]

Finally did my o/r mod, wow, feels much better. Spools quicker, hits harder, not really much louder. It also drives better, I'll turn up the boost to 8# tomorrow. Afr is right on point, 11.4-11.8. Very happy with my kit, so if anyone out there had a chance to get this kit, rest assured, it works, fits great, excellent instructions, customer service, all quality parts. I know there's other good kits available, but dont listen to all the Granatelli bashing on this kit, JR Granatelli had been helpful with any questions I've had, and I bought the kit used, didn't but it from him.
Id also like to thank all if three people that helped me with all my questions during my build. Just to name a few...
