    k finally finish the turbo swap. i dont know if its the trim or the lipp elbow but it pulls at 2100rpm and pulls really hard at 3500rpm. from 3psi to 12psi in less then 1 second. more low end torque and the front end wants to lift everytime i accelerate. thanks a lot for all the useful info guys.
