Boost ramps are for the weak

Last thing I'll say is that I was on a 3 lane highway I had tons of room I slowly rolled on it nowhere near full boost and it went.

Yea but I switched to a 4.05 lsj lsd trans this time. Weather has been poor here but I can feel a difference with the shorter gears

And all this time i thought it was to help keep your trans alive...

But in all seriousness i do agree with you one of the the reasons i bought this car was essentially 0 turbo lag. My stock turbo is holding up well but if it does go this is something id definitely consider replacing it with. Sorry to here about the string of bad luck hopefully the 4.05 will hold up better and you can get the car back to 100%

geez mongo, i see pulling up on your property is like going to gm heaven. gto, balt, gta, 454ss, all you need is a ws6 ta, and a vette and you would have my dream garage. oooops wait cant forget a 69 c10 ( it would be the prize of the stable)
