say "the turbo is consistently letting heat energy escape unused, it just leaks energy, and this new turbo doesn't have any leaks."

ATT gets better mpg, which is a true statement.

Well I finally have all of the pieces. I just need to get a few minor shipping and payment items taken care of and the first couple Turbos will go out. Hopefully by next weekend at the latest.
The machinist we used did a great job on the pieces he made. TIG welded down pipe and mating piece. Intermediate pipes are in for the non intercooled intakes. I have been running without my intercooler for about 2 weeks now and doubt I will go back to it. The truck runs better without, at least it seems to be more responsive at lower end. Guess three inch pipe at eight feet long with an intercooler in the middle does make a slight difference.
Guys be patient, these are hand made at this point and hand assembled with a full inspection so that there are no problems. I also have yet to print up a set of installation instructions so there is one more item that needs to be addressed. I don't want to leave anything to chance. There is no fancy manufacturing facility just two guys and their handy work, plus I have a day job and second part time night job. I won't promise anything we can't honestly deliver.

keep up the good work. Also that turbo looks like it is the ticket for now. I can't wait to see what you come up with next.

Thats ok sometimes I offend people just for fun. Some people find that offensive.
It is definitely on my Christmas list. I'll probably get the la la la not listening response.
Anybody want to adopt a middle-aged college student?
2 more semesters to go then maybe I can treat myself to some goodies.
