First real experiences with turbo install
OK, drove all day today on highway and offroad, topped 13,000 feet again this time with turbo.
The good: cruised at 13,000 feet pulling uphill in fourth sustainded with ease.
The bad: At sustained high engine output coolant temp starts to heat up after a while. It's gradual enough that I didn't notice it in several hours of intense city and light highway testing. Little hoses on injector pump keep blasting off, making engine go into Ultra Mode for a few seconds before I can jump out to stick them back into place.
I think I'm going to do the exhaust after all... maybe that will keep temps from rising. Man it's amazing how much power the engine can have when you change the air/fuel mix. The first time one of those little hoses blew off I was cruising steadily uphill at a solid pace, more or less maxed out in 3rd... all of a sudden I was thrown back in my seat and it felt like I was being blasted uphill! And yes I know that's bad...
