On a note that might be more immediate to some, has anyone had any update about whether the 9180s are still on target to be available June-July as was the case last time I inquired roughly 6 months ago? Is another delay on the horizon or does production seem to be going according to plan?

Mike, are you going to post any results for the GTX3076?

It sounds then like you got through all your comparison runs without exploding the test engine, which is always a big plus
Same comment for the Supra guys with their big test, very glad they got through it all.

The Supra test is pretty disappointing. I can't bring myself to post in their new thread.
The boost plots are not even close to being the same.
They didn't put a dumptube on the full-race manifold 2nd wastegate and then POINTED it at the compressor inlet. Auto-EGR anyone? Precision DBB and JB...same turbo and they make like 50whp different? WTF?
It's really tough to draw conclusions from their testing with these FEW things SO wrong. I can attempt to see the forest through the trees, and I think I can make some conclusions... but they're just painful to make assumptions, when it should be pretty clear. I guess I'll do my own testing to determine what I want to know. It's just frustrating to see something poorly executed.
I am looking forward to Mike's results.

to keep this thread going ill continue with my build updates in here.
working on boost control. all 300 psi rated push loc hose. dei heat sleeve around the hot areas. made an aluminum bracket and painted it for the boost control solenoid, uses 2 existing holes in the frame rail. the hoses loop like that to clear the conical air filter. couldnt find anything besides dei 1/8 npt distribution blocks to merge fittings, so that got expensive at $25 each but the rest of the stuff is fairly cheap. im thinking of using the licp for the boost source, so intercooler pressure drop doesnt kill the boost curve. any negatives?
