1887, BALL BEARING TURBOS RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Posted by 99GSBBTurbo, Feb-20-01 03:42 PM WELL... I just got my BB turbo in my 99 GS Sport by Wyatt. IT'S SWEET!!! DDDDAAAAMMMNNN its fast!! I'm still trying to figure out all the new sounds, like the fuel pressure regulater and down pipe ( I think )... I hear a vibrating sound, kinda like I'm down shifting just not as loud, when I'm at 72-75 mph, 3,200 to 3,400 rpms, in 5th gear. But other than that, I LOVE IT. If you all have suggestions on what it is and what I should do then let me know. Thanks

1890, RE: BALL BEARING TURBOS RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Posted by 99GSBBTurbo, Feb-20-01 06:15 PM What do you mean, get everything tuned right? What is there to tune in the kit? The fuel system that came with it isn't adjustable, I just keep checking the oil and makeing sure that every bolt is tight. And I listen for anything awkward sounding, and keep an eye on my boost and air/fuel gauges. Am I missing anything?

1892, RE: BALL BEARING TURBOS RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Posted by Jeff_99gs, Feb-21-01 07:08 AM An EGT gauge would be a very wise choice...just another thing to keep your eye on to keep your engine safe. Jeff http://gs.dsmpower.com
1893, RE: BALL BEARING TURBOS RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Posted by 99GSBBTurbo, Feb-21-01 12:15 PM Thanks for the suggestions, thats my next thing, an egt gauge. I'm also going to weld the waste gate dump tube into the exhaust and a flex section into the down pipe. What else do you guys suggest?
