My main scary noise ended up being a bad injector.

Some crappy video of a couple of unloaded runs on mostly flat ground (it is hard to video while driving). I "roll coal" pretty good until the turbo spools.

Ran her decently hard tonight. We have an impressive grade a few miles out of town that goes for about 2.5 miles. I did it unloaded as I do not have my trailer wiring done yet. She definitely has a LOT more power then she did when she last ran 5 years ago or so. On the steepest part, I slowed to 35 and then got on it. She moved good.

I am still able to "roll coal" with a press of the throttle. It clears up once boost starts. I feel like I need more turbo (and over drive)! My water temps got a little higher than I would like, pushing 220 on the steep parts. EGT's were cool, never passing 900 and quickly cooling after hard runs. Boost would quickly climb to about 15 lbs. Still working on some small issues.
