EDIT: Well, if you're looking to learn here's a guide from our distant cousins the 3000GT crowd (*me* ducks the heavy objects now poised to be thrown in my direction). This looks like it covers things fairly in depth, although cut back on the boost settings until you have a feel for what the turbo has to offer before it chokes.

EDIT 2: Forgot to mention that you should also check that the SBC's vacuum line is connected and that there are no leaks.


here's the manual:

I downloaded the manual and keep it in the glovebox.I have it set at 5 gain and # 1 at 20% it runs nice man.I am interested in shimming the waste gate is this a simple job?or in hours with corect tools

Shimming only takes a few minutes... getting it just where you want it is another thing. Although with the Blitz you shouldn't have any need to shim the wastegate... so, what's up?

after posting I did wonder about that.I need to understand a little more about this area
I have a spare ct26 on the kitchen table right now and had to laugh because the owner of it had the washers on the nut side.I couldn't see how this gained anything.But I had the chance to learn alittle more.
I may switch actuators tomorrow as i have what seems like some exhaust coming out of my divorced pipe at idle.I don't know if they are prone to failure or not.I suppose the spring mechanism could tire.

It should be closed at idle correct.
