Burb is on the road

[bvanetten]

Well were motorin again! A bunch of little stuff to do yet but at least it moves under its own power. Lift pump is weak, left me stranded at discount tire. Using a electric I had lying around until my new one comes in. Will finish the exhaust friday, it dumps out under the passenger seat now. I'm running about 25 lbs max boost with a 12cm housing and a stock tuned pump, does this sound right? EGT's have never been over 800 and cruising stay at about 600. Will tweek the pump a little friday. I must say that this stock TC sucks. Talk about sloppy! That will have to be dealt with in the future. I've got all my photos in digital format now but need to find the time to put them up on a web page. Maybe this week end. I'll let everyone know.
