turbo and exhaust
#1

When I bought my coach, noticed boost was down, [about 18 psi max] so when I changed the air cleaner, looked at the compressor wheel and found several good nicks in the blades. Ordered a new higher flow one from ss60 and installed. Old exhaust pipe from turbo to muffler heat shield was in bad shape, so scrapped it, {I am still itching from the fiberglass!] Used 100 ft of 4 inch titanium heat wrap to replace it. Decided to get rid of the 55 gallon muffler, so bought a aero 5050 lx resonator and installed. Only problem is, it is a little longer than the old muffler so will have to modify it to use the side exhaust or find a flattened out tip to go straight out the back. 
Big difference! Cannot really make a before and after comparison, but now boost pegs at 30 + at full throttle at 1500 rpm and stays there till next shift.  Very happy with new power. Have to practice judicious use of the jake, as it has quite a bark at high rpm.
Only one change that bothers me, at 70 mph on the flats, 95 f. ambient, cac temp out was about 125 to 130 f., now it seem to run about 140 to 150. This seem high to me. Anyone seeing similar temps? or know where to get 5 inch to flattened out 4 by 6, or something close, exhaust tip?
Thanks,  Jim
