No transition to secondary turbo. Kinda sounds like a boost leak when the secondary is supposed to come on. I suspect that sound is boost being vented from the "BOV". Already checked all vac hoses, check valves, pressure/vac chamber, replaced hoses to "BOVs".

I think it is either a solenoid or perhaps something else. All this started after new engine and turbos were installed and exhaust manifold swapped for a ceramic coated manifold. Worked perfectly before that.

Sounds like a vacuum hose was plumbed incorrectly. Look at the vacuum hoses near the turbo, I found this on a couple cars.

I talked to Steve Kahn and he said he can fly out on the week of Dec. 18/19 th. We should have 5 people so far which is enough. Steve wants to make sure the 5 are committed so call toomuchboost (Chris) and get squared away if you want a tune.

My new engine is installed now but lots of work remaining before starting it up. If I get it running and broken in before the 18th I'll be in touch for a tune that weekend. So count me in as a maybe.

It is true payment is received so this is a go. Been talking to the dyno places. Looks like Jan. 8-9 might be our only option right now. This at least gives everyone a month to prep the cars which have probably been prepped for the past 3 months lol.
We can lock in that date if we want, its plenty of time for Steve to get his ticket and to make plans with work or what needs be.
