well the boost is still under 2psi at idle and goes a little over 2psi on the highway with no load will see wath happens when pulling a trailer. i did as you guys recomended and moved the boost gauge inlet to the intake hat. i also turned up the outer fuel screw one time but not diference so far on that one.

1- there is something that poul at luk clutch could not answer me (he did give me a # to call dough) it happens when raining the clutch pedal is really soft like a car clutch and shifts as allways but on dry days the clutch pedal is almost a hard as the stock one all the time, it does not work inproperly just not as soft as they said it is.

2- the sfw is good to start the engine it is even faster than before but with this ceramic clutch it makes it dificult to release the clutch when going on reverse and a lot of wheight on the bed and up hill. is it possible to keep the sfw ON and replace the ceramic clutch with a stock one or a 12" one but not ceramic?

thank you, Exekiel.

EZ, I'll have to defer the ceramic question to somebody who is familiar with those LUK clutches. Your boost should be zero 0 at idle. 2 PSI is normal on the highway with a headwind. If your still running that boost/vacuum gauge, you might want to get a better 0 to 15 PSI postitve presure only guage. Glad to hear you got the turbo in and everything. I didn't hear from you over Memorial day, so I assumed you were making out good.

as far as I know ya can swap the clitch disc.
ceramic, or cerametalic is not recomended for towing, or low speed manuvers, due to the fact that it wont slip enough.
its either ingaged or disengaged.
give tom a call at carolina clutch, and Im sure he can hook ya up
