Could be... some punk kid told me the other day "If it's too loud, grandpa, you're too old". I didn't even bother explaining to him that any rap music I can hear is too loud.

I was all set to crack wise about foreign cars when it occurred to me that my truck was hecho en Mexico. Time for me to STFU I guess.

Here she is on the dyno - 325awhp 375tq at 3500rpm.

Things I need to mention:

First of all, we had some issues, my inlet pipe was too close to the turbo and was restricting it, that will be resolved with a bit of grinding to make more room.
Secondly, my air intake was too small, I currently have a 65mm APS cold air intake, I need to go to a 70mm APS air intake, but APS doesn't ship to the US anymore, or a different one, which I found which is a 73mm and should help. With the air intake alone I will be able to make another 25 hp per the tuner.
