WOO HOO! After 14 hours of confusion and being really tired, my dying 57 Trim CT26 is off and a good conditioned "stock" CT26 is on. Boost time is better, The spool is louder...and it feels more powerful than ever.
(For the ones who are wondering, we were doing other misc. things besides just swapping turbo's between that 14 hour period.) ;)

Still at a strong 15psi, I still need to break it in just a weee bit. Exactly how many miles should I look at before going back in and retorqing everything?

No breakin required for a turbo. Pour oil into the feed port of the turbo.. spin the wheels and let that oil work thru the bearings, pour a bit more oil into the feed port, install turbo, pull a bar of boost out of the driveway.

It is however, very important to prime a turbo. Which is hte process I described above.

Okay, good. I have put about 80 miles on it now and I've already ran full boost acouple times.

BTW, When I dyno'd that wonderful 231rwhp...:(
It was only at 10-11psi and with a dying 57 Trim CT. (Normally 15)
I have a stocker on there right now...but 13 psi will work for me...for now.;)

Thanks for the info, Al.

Thats short and optimistic so if you do it in a month and get it all buttoned up/running right you should feel very happy and appreciative of whoever helps you.

My 2cents.

Matt, the Skittle sounds beautiful...but I decided to go play a little today in the country...I did 0-60 about 5 times (all launching at 1500rpms w/ no boost) and was hitting 60 in UNDER 6 seconds every time. I couldn't imagine it w/ a high stall and slicks off the line...:) O-100 was around 12-13 seconds. Not exact, but yeah. Your skittle sounds like a 2JZ-GE;)
