I've talked to them and they gave me a couple of ideas on how to close the wastegate. They do agree that it is probably stuck in the open position... My turbo did not come with an adjustable elbow.....

Thanks

Well I now have another problem due to clamping off the wastegate hose. I'm getting all the power I'm supposed to have and now even the Performance tune will slip the clutch!!! This thing is just a beast now and I have to run around in the Towing setting just to save the clutch. I'll have a new one soon I think.....
This Predator/Puck stack is just awesome. I swear it feels as strong as my 03 did when it was making 500rwhp.......

I don't remember saying anything of that nature......

Once I get a clutch and maybe a better fuel pump I really am done......

I chirped 2nd gear showing off today even thought the Predator is only on the tow setting......
I never left. I tried to leave but I am what I am. I know a new clutch is inevitable so I don't know why I am procrastinating getting it done..... I definitely don't want a dual disc. I sit in too much traffic for that thing!!!!!
