The first video you can here the turbos feeding back and forth... It does it so loud you can hear it with the hood closed! I was told it was normal for this type of pressurization back and forth...

This is what the turbos are doing... Sorry if its too loud...
THEY ARE NOT BACK SPOOLING... They are constantly sucking just harder when they get louder...

Thanks man!!! Untuned at 0 degrees timing she wants to haul ass... I am hitting 9 pounds on a .5 accuator though... Should be 7.5 pounds to 8... Full boost little before 3200... I am running lean though so I will boost faster cause of the heat...

Oh yea that tune was shit.... I am going to tow it there I am pretty sure... 30-40mins away to get tuned...

I sound like a little girl man that whole night I was shaking... I am in LOVE...
Yes its the stock motor with HotRod cams... I am looking for a stock motor now though....

Sounds badass....are they suppose to be constantly wastegating like that, or is that the cams that make it do that.

I had the idle set a 1300 so it should be better when i get tuned but it does it through out driving the car also...

Who's tuning it?

Its not the wastgates doing anything. Its a very small amount of pressure building up in the pipes and sort of stalling one of the compressor wheels. It doesn't stop turning, it just slows down enough to let some pressure out and then it switches over the the other turbo and does the same thing. Our 05 with twin 61s did the same thing only slower due to the bigger turbos. If the bov was open at idle it wouldn't do it, but there is nothing wrong with what his car is doing. I wouldn't change anything.

I think it adds a little character lol... With the hood closed it sounds like Frankenstein....
By the way thanks for calling me yesterday and giving me the reassurance I needed...

y r you looking for another stock motor?

Either going 5.4 or finding another 4.6 to build for a good amount of boost... I suspect she will only last me this summer "maybe" if I am lucky...

Like I said I am on a half a Bar and I am creeping to 9pounds...

I can say it for sure now, "I am hooked on boost"...
