You might be surprised how improved your low speed cooling capability will be with the shroud. I would actually say that would be at the top of the list for me as the only issues I ever had on the street were when in stop and go traffic and the slim fans could not keep enough air moving across the radiator and A/C consensor.

I'm leaking since coolant from the driver rear side. Somewhat slow leak but today there was a decent puddle. Anyone have any ideas what to check? Can't see much from the top. There might be a little on the top of the skid plate but it could just be wet from water.


Edit:

I found the leak. Rubber coolant hose going to/from the turbo. Underneath it. I don't see any kind of clamp on it. Should there be? Drips every 4ish seconds.

Coper area in the picture is where the leak is. No clamp on that hose.

That doesn't need a clamp its an AN fitting. Is it leaking from inbetween the fitting and the rubber? If so you have to disassemble it.

so I need to get rid of my 550s and get 1000's. LJ is being typical LJ and taking care of me but what I could use some advice on is, are the Injector Dynamics worth the cost over the Bosch?

Yes, they are great to tune with..

ID1000's are the way to go. You don't get an injector sheet with them (that I've seen), but even without one they're a dream to tune. I have some great base numbers I can give you that'll get you in the ballpark enough to dial them in.

I have Bosch's in mine and they work great

Sooo a couple months ago I went to swap from the GT2871R to the GTX3076R and found out my headgasket was blown. I wish I knew how that could've happened but it's finally back up and running. @Infamous Performance put it all back together - new oil fittings and lines (the ones installed by @FullBlown were from the old batch, leaked badly. New batch they sent me leaked as well), ceramic coated headers, DP, OP, dump tube. Mike@Infamous took great care of my car and I'm finally oil leak free .

The o2 sensor was blown as well so we couldn't finish the tune while in Escondido. @DeliciousTuning suggested switching back to the stock injectors as he thought we could hit 400whp (dynojet) on 91 pump with my setup without maxing the injectors. He tuned it local to me last week and it made 270whp @ 15psi on a MAHA dyno. That's probably 320whp dynojet. It looks like the port injectors are pretty maxed out :/

So now my car is running smoother than it ever has, but making less power on a larger turbo. Now I'm still left scratching my head what to do.

Shouldn't 15psi on a gtx30 be more than 320whp? Either way that's a lot on the stock injectors. Time for 550s.

I had ID1000s on it right before the tune (and still have 550s in a box). They were able to hit 300s on a mustang with e85 and stock injectors, so they thought it would be easy with 91 being 30% less fuel, while giving it stock drivability/idle/etc. The engine being lower compression and having to run higher boost is what appears to be the difference. And yes..15psi should be a lot more power.
