I love my Special. I have 4.10 gears & it lights at 1400rpm. I tow very heavy & as long as I keep rpms over 2000, I get zero surging. I run Adrenaline PL03, Smarty sw3 when towing.

I have it wastegated at 45psi, but I still see 62psi with the Adrenaline on kill. I bet you have a boost leak.

trick to makin power out of that setup starts with a good fuel supply, air dog or fass setup, then the smarty, with a box and tapped wire to realy wake up those injectors.

You need spring loaded clamps, the stock boots are fine for up to 45psi.

thats what i did for clamps. its holding good now im just hopeing those injectors will give me some good results. the turbo has alot of lag. ex on top end. 5th gear if i mash it at 1800rpm. it take a second to spool and it trows me in the seat.
