BTW,
As far as install goes... the oil and water lines are all that you have to 
fabricate, and that is an hours work at most.  The stock intake hose will work 
on a 50 trim inlet, with a little work.  We used an exhaust pipe expansion 
tool, and repeated heat cycles to work the intake hose from 2 inches to the 2.75 
required by the Garrett.

Also, keep in mind, our 4k rpm max boost threshold is at 5500 ft above sea 
level.  It will be tested this weekend at a lower altitude, and I expect that it 
will drop by 500rpm there.  In discussion today with Jim at TEC, he believes 
our software is likely at fault (TAP chipset), and that our threshold should 
be at about 3k rpm.  Test results to follow... as we'll be changing those 
components soon.
Take care,
Dave in CO
