Just realized in my posts I don't show new hardware for the bellmouth end of the downpipe, I did put the bolts in it.

Great job! I can't wait to see what the "seat of the pants" performance is like.

OK, so I learned a few little yet very important details yesterday.

#1 Found the rack stop adjustment.
#2 Adjusted rack stop in 1/2 turn intervals, two times. No change? hmmm
#3 Found a throttle stop adjustment bolt on linkage. Backed that all the way out for now until I get the fuel dialed in. Then I will move it back in to a new setting.

1 full turn backed out made 5-6psi and really woke the tractor up! I've now backed it out to 1-3/4 turns to see if it continues to gain or if I have plateaued. This is the testing phase so I am seeing what works and has the biggest gain with least stress. I likely won't go past this test setting, but I would like to see if it makes another big gain or if improvement curve has flattened out. For science.

It looks very interesting and well done turbo addition!

I hope the rest of the tractor can handle the additional power - I am thinking of clutch, PTO clutch, transmission differential(s) etc.

Please keep us posted.
