Tapex Questions!

[TurboT]

Okay guys, this winter was my first running a boondocker turbo system. These are newby questions, so if anyone has a little time to help me out I would really appreciate it I have the gt25 setup and can't seem to get really good answers from anyone! From what I understand is I should be able to run up to 16lbs of boost with the turbo only producing real power up to 14lbs. I've been running a 50/50 mix of premium and race fuel. Do I need to have a head shim put in or anything else if running over 10lbs? I installed 2 Cool Air Vents to take some of the heat out. Seems to do a good job, but whole system seems to run better after everything has warmed up for a while? Last question, I installed a duckbill right before the turbo on the bottom of the intake. After running in the deep pow for long periods, some water develops right @ the elbow before it dumps into the turbo. I have double and triple checked for a snug fit on everything and made sure there are no cuts or tears on the prefilter. Anyone else seeing this happen? I would really appreciate any feedback on these questions!

I think you are fine on your fuel mix with that turbo. You certainly don't need a shim with it. Turbo's will always run better after warmed up. Even with a pre filter, you are going to get water through. I wouldn't worry about that at all. Just look at it as water injection

Appreciate the feedback!

Thanks for the info There's nothing better than gaining knowledgeable information from someone that knows their chit. Hope to see you on the hills someday. After running a turbo, I would never even consider switching back to the ole' 2-stroke mods.

No problem. Ya, most guys who go from a 2 stoke mod to a T4stroke never go back.

I've got quite a few friends from Ohio! Noticed you were a Buckeye fan! Kudos to ya. Hope this season goes well for them as I am now a Buckeye supporter. Amazing the influence friends have on a person. Rode the Snowy Mountains on Sunday. Awesome riding for May conditions. 1 foot of fresh on top of cement, but better than twiddling thumbs @ home wondering if!
