    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) GSK problems

    Finally gave it the full boot....getting right at about 30 psi and didn't get above 850 egt....guess I cant ask for more than that!

    Yes, though routing the rubber boost hose was interesting as the supplied fitting put the nipple at a 90 degree angle where as the original hose was straight up. There wasn't a way to do it without introducing some significant bends.

    I got the #11 plate in....definitely more power and the engine seems to rev faster. I might have to play with the star wheel as I leave a cloud of smoke behind me. I haven't given a full throttle run yet but my boost only goes up to 26 psi at 3/4 throttle...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) S&B intake

    I'm eagerly awaiting my PG7 Stage 2 setup. I am eager to see if there will be a sheen of oil on the turbo... I took my stock hose off to facilitate other maintenance and saw that the inside of the house has a very light layer of pollen dust. I don't know where it came from, but there's a leak...

    Awesome! I have a while to wait for mine. I did order a drop-in PG7 to replace the K&N ( I know, I know) in my wife's Jeep. Hopefully that will be here next week.

    Yes you did tell me...and I remembered just as I was putting my tools away. Unfortunately a thunderstorm was imminent so I couldn't fix it then. I do very much appreciate the guidance though, it did take much of the confusion out of the process for me.

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) GSK problems

    I was told that anything more than an 11 would cause my clutch to slip...I just don't have the $1k sitting around for a clutch right now... Do you have to remove the fuel lines to get to the tamper screw? I don't see how you can get anything on it straight without doing so...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) GSK problems

    Well I took another stab at it. I backed out both retaining nuts until they were finger right then did the standard 3 clicks after the initial click. Yesterday I didn't realize there are two spring cups to be adjusted and only did one. Today I got to the other one and it took 6 clicks to back it...

    Yes sir...the guy who installed it tightened it far too much to begin with. I revved it a bit afterwards and everything sounded Ok...aside from the high idle.

    Nice. Unfortunately for me Summit doesn't have the PG7 Stage 2 in stock and the estimated arrival isby until May .

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) GSK problems

    Well I took it apart today. Other than the frustration at finding my tools in utter disarray the job of getting,to the springs wasn't bad. Weather was on its way in so I was limited to adjusting the retaining nut. I backed it off 3 clicks. After putting it back together I started it up and the...
