If anyone knows where to get a good HE341Ve turbine housing or a core turbo for a reasonable cost, let me know. I've been putting want ads on every turbo and diesel forum I know of.
Well damn, that sucks. I guess that happens with a hard to find turbo.

New dynolicious run from tonight.
(Note: Stock settings M-Pump)
74hp is about right. I figure 88hp non-turbo fueling rate minus a few HP absorbed uselessly driving the turbo.
Compare to the stock MW-pump.
So "feels about as fast as a turbo" isn't a far off description.

Got a bit accomplished tonight. I turned up the pump some more, changed the ATF, changed the power steering fluid and return hose, adjusted the boost up to 12psi, changed the belts, upgraded to the 6" wp pulley and 9-blade plastic fan, tightened the steering box another 1/2 turn ccw and repaired the cut kickdown and reverse light wires.

Don't use a lubricant on the mechanicals, it will attract soot and work as an abrasive. Do use plenty of high temp anti seize on the turbine housing to center housing joint though.
Occasional Italian Tuneups will keep it clean (The same way DPFs burn off soot). The soot was so bad since my 240 knocks I rarely pushed it harder than 900*f pre-turbo for long.

I have adjusted the cam timing. It was at 7* due to chain elongation so I installed the 4* offset woodruff key I had purchased last week. I was going to order 4* and 6* keys since I didn't already know the elongation, but I didn't want to waste money on a useless spare. The dealer wanted $26 each, even the parts guy had a "wow" when he saw the initial price so he knocked it down to $12.

It will hit 1250*f at around 85mph from a standstill. The intercooler has no problem keeping up with the air since it only shares fluid volume with the engine circuit, not flow. The connection with the engine has a 1/8" orifice so the levels and pressures can equalize but limit flow between the two to a minimum. Bulk engine filling is done through the upper radiator hose.
Reaching 1250 is from the long injection duration of the small plungers, a 7mm upgrade should bring the burn time down cooler.

Right. That means a higher pressure ratio for the same boost and more pressure is needed to produce the same airflow as an engine at sea level. The higher intake heat is easily handled by the intercooler, but the exhaust backpressure of it all is what really hurts. At 10psi its close to 1:1, but at 15psi (especially in the upper RPMs) it can reach 33psi. Thats why I bumped down from 18psi, EMP was peaking at nearly 40psi by redline!

New and improved larger air filter design.
CCV system is vented to the road to prevent intercooler fouling.
A coolant filter was added to try and remove the remaining sediment that triple flushing didn't get out. Its a g@s filter (Fram G3) but so far its working well at catching the water particulates without restricting flow.
I also added a bottle of Redline Water Wetter to both circuits. So far it seems to be working well, its staying rock steady on 82*c where before it would creep to 85*c at low speeds.
