DB2 Tuning Guide
Great write up! Very well written explanation of everything we went over on the phone a few months back. I know the spring he is talking about. Blacknoma had that spring fall out and get eaten inside his IP (my fault!). It's the spring that the rear adjustment guide pushes against inside of...- Steven Donald

It was supposedly the IP off of the '94 that he stole the rest of the turbo setup from. I believe him because he gave me the old IP from the '91 engine also.- Steven Donald

Yes, mine wasn't right for some reason. The previous owner had a lot done to it and I don't think they did all of it correctly. Is yours a '94 turbo?- Steven Donald

Low RPM governor speed
So, the adjustments I made to the IP seemed to retard the timing quite a bit, it was running crazy quiet. I advanced the timing a bit more and took another test drive. This is the fastest IDI I have ever been in. Check out this video.l, I started in 2nd and went 0-60 in about 8 seconds. Not...- Steven Donald

Low RPM governor speed
It's hitting 15 psi from 2,600 to about 3,250 then tapers back off. Think that looks and sounds like it's well enough tuned? Used to it would fall on it's face right at 3,000rpm, so you had to short shift and the turbo would de-spool a bit. This is way better, keeps the engine in the power...- Steven Donald

Low RPM governor speed
Oh man, I need help, lol! I pulled it apart and stretched the large spring about 1/4" longer and put it back together. Now it idles at 3,000 rpm!! I pulled the idle adjustment all the way down and screwed in the electronic idle solenoid and it didn't make a difference. Then Inipebws it up...- Steven Donald

OK, when I cut the small spring, I then turn the nut adjustment in towards that small spring to keep the idle the same? Or does that adjustment not work like I'm thinking?- Steven Donald
