Well, I just drove the Turbo T from Dallas, Tx to Denver, Co. In Dallas, the thing ran awesome, surge was not noticable. Spool time became minimal after a 9/11 PTS 3000 stall converter was installed. Now in Denver, I'm getting A LOT of surge at part throttle. At full throttle, I get the desired 17 psi boost in street trim. I tried backing off the wastegate rod, which did the trick for part throttle, but then I could only get 12 psi boost at full throttle after I got the part throttle to behave like it used to in Dallas. I'm running a TE44 (.63 Garrett) feeding a V4, ported stock heads and 210/210 biller roller cam and 50# injs.
One thing I haven't checked is if there is a herd of hobbits living in the cavernous dual SS ATR 3 inch exhaust...hmm that could be causing air flow problems...
Anyways, I ordered a RamChargers elec boost controller. Should I have a new chip burned for this high altitude dilemma or does the compressor map on the turbo need to be different? I'm thinking I'll just buy a TE63 and put my TE44 on ebay.
What setups are you 11 sec guys in Colorado (or >5000 ft) running and is this a known problem?
Thanks!!!
