Have you thought about replacing the airbox with a higher flow 4 inch air box? Personally I think it should be changed sooner rather than later, the gtx 71mm compressor moves an immence amount of air. A huge amount more than the zd airbox can flow. You'll find that the turbo is working so hard for its air through that airbox that it is wasting energy in order to get it. Having the 4 inch airbox and pipe from snorkle to turbo (remember the 3071 has a 4 in intake) will help. As a result you'll see an increase in engine responce. Note that your torque climbes quickly on that graph (good) to a high amount (even better) but drops nearly as quick as it climbs (not so good). A big contributor to that sharp drop off is the intake. Changing it will help to level it out and extend that torque band, there are many other factors too, but I wont go into them now as I'll let your boner wear off about this motor
This is by no means critisism of your setup. I have had a big garrett on a 42 for a few years now. You, a few days. There are alot of things that need to be done to compliment the few things they do really really well

Yes I have thought about replacing the air box, snorkel and pipe. But I kinda run out of funds so its the last thing on my mind at the moment. Something I will get to though.

No Idea sorry.

Took it for a run today. Dropped past AB's to pickup some stuff and show it off. Then went on to Marysville. Anyone who's driven out there knows the big long hill climb a few k's before you hit the town. Steep and long. Well I drove it like i was going downhill. I hit the bottom of the hill at around 65k's in 4th, at the top I was doing around 120 in 5th. Lol. The ZD would have been back to 3rd and revving its tits off at 50.
One thing I don't like about the large top mount cooler. Is the induction noise thats passing through the cooler, I can hear it through the firewall. When you've got your foot down you really hear it.
I just gotta find where thing god awful clunk is coming from in the front right somewhere when I turn the steering wheel.

Take it back and tell them to do it in 4th

That god awful clunk comes from someware over in the west I believe, causes a lot of trouble for everyone.

Hey Mat, how can you tell from that dyno graph that it was not done in 4th? What gear do you think it was done in?

You can tell by the speed at the bottom of the graph it was in 3rd
