Had to do a 4 hour trip thru some serious hilly mountain's, the mods I've made have helped but I didn't think it would help much on some of the really steep hills. Well with my family, me, wife, 2 kids, dog and gear, its surprised me. I had to treat it like a 2 stroke, keep it on the boil but I could do 120-130 KM/H up most hills, a couple got me bogged down to 80 KM/H but apart from that, it flew, it actually floated, felt really good and the higher up we got, the better it ran, lol. The road is the Coquihalla from Abbotsford to Kamloops then from there we went to Sun Peaks.

All in all, I am speechless, lol.
 
Were you going to visit that nice young lady in your avatar?

Why, yes I was, ):h


Did the fluidampr make the ride any better after install? And you have a Holset, how much boost is it making for you?

FD made a huge difference, exhaust would buzz, that stopped it, engine became so much smoother and it changed the sound, also, no more belt snap, before-you could see the belt snap around, after install, stopped. Had to adjust my alt belt once after it sat for over a year, that's it.

Turbo not installed yet, still n/a and mods, gearing are in the sig.
 
Well just got back today, averaged 16.5 mpg, not bad considering I was beating the living shit out of it, :eek: ):h
