yeah yeah... laugh it up.

As soon as I replace my turbo, fuel pump, send the chip in for some more tunes and stud this bad boy.. I'm going to be upset if I'm not tickling 550-575hp.

I'm determined to pull a Marty apparently.

Also, 35-40psi on this little turbo sounds nasty. It does not like it at all. No bearing noise (yet), just a sound like it isn't supposed to be doing that much pressure at those temps.

Tow? Not really. But I'll be purchasing a 30ft 5ver soon.

Nozzles? This is something we can talk about offline. I may be wanting to change up some stuff and I don't want to be public about it JUST yet. I'll pm you sometime this weekend.

Yeah, like someone posted earlier the worst thing about the early Powerstrokes is the cup holder! Gotta get one of the later model cup-holders!

Mine had the plastic finger type when I bought it and it works great. Been 4 or 5 years now and a cup has never fallen out, even with the way I drive.

The cup holder vs cup thrower is not an "early 99" issue. I got a cup holder out of a 2002 and put it in my early 99. Works great.
