Just filled up... I've been through several tanks since running HF-SCT, and whilst there has been no improvement in MPG's, it has not got worse, which is good considering the extra get up and go I've got (and have been playing with).
Speaking of MPG's, there was no change after moving the AIT sensor from the keg to the CAI tube (prep for FI-Airgap), despite the 50°F temp difference.

i greased my ramcharger. noticed one of the boots on the 1 tie rod is missing a good chunk. i guess i may have to replace some tie rods in the future but right now the steering feels fairly tight.
have to get gas today or tomorrow since i have to drop my sister off at the airport to fly home. damn workmans comp signed her up for some stuff so she has to go home a bit early.

Mark (wombat ranger) came over. We drove each others trucks, and raided the hardware store to build boost leak detectors.
Found a massive boost leak at the v-clamp from my secondary turbo to the charge elbow that hooks to the intercooler pipe. fixed that by clocking the compressor housing slightly and re-clamping it. re-tested and no more boost leaks...should regain at least 1mpg and about 10psi of boost..
Marks truck also has a very slight boost leak from some goofy plug in the compressor housing. Very minor though. likely will need to remove the plug and weld it or silicone it..
maybe even drill and tap it for a small pipe plug?

Thanks again for having me over.
As I was talking to Jigabop about earlier, I am going to severely de-fuel my truck until I get a better clutch in it. The single disk in it is really getting worn, so I need to figure something out. Until then, no more fun.
I greased my kingpins last week and the front end clunks less and feels a bit tighter. I didn't expect that, but welcome the improvement!
