As for the alignment, I just clocked the compressor housing a little, I didn't quit have it perfect after installing the billet wheel, I'm planning on checking for boost leaks this week if I get time

how did you clock a 38r? I could have swore that the bolt pattern is a one way only patern? or is that the stock turbo? I could be drunk right now too...

That's only the stock turbo

You can rotate infinitely the 38r housing.

Sooo. I know it takes me a little while to work on the 02 cause its been at my parents house the last couple weeks. Took my boost leak checker stuff over with me after work, hooked it up, and sure enough, where the red line hooks to the x pipe, it was leaking. I took it off, and put a vacuum cap with clamp on it, and tested to 20psi, it held great. My next question, is 25-27 psi on stock injectors and a 38r sound right in a performance tune? The truck sure is behaving a lot better, I retract my previous statements of it spooling slower than stock turbo out of the hole, it spools quite a bit faster than stock now. My only complaint is that it doesn't cool as well as the BASB, but is definitely coolingbetter than stock charger. Does all this sound on par for the combo as far as boost, and spoiling?

28 is all I'm able to hit on stock split shots and gearhead all out tune so you're right in there. And that's at 100 mph + when it's really got no other choice. I haven't messed with the wastegate yet either. Just not time. It'll only make a couple more psi from what I've been told though.

that is prolly close to what it should be with the gate opening with spring pressure. if you tighten the rod it should net a few psi of boost..

Gate rod is as tight as I could get it, I cranked it down as tight as I could before I ever even put the charger on the truck, overall much improved though. I guess its actually pretty good when you consider stock sticks are pushing a 66mm turbo that fast and enough to build 25+ psi boost, that's about all the stock one would do with a.84 ar and a 60mm, just hotter and surging

I would think that you should be above 30psi.. did you spray the entire charge air system down with soapy water to make sure you dont have any other leaks?
