The cobalt with intercooler and 3" catless exhaust ran surge free, even at 26psi.

Of course... just triggering on your first statement above... as in, how to achieve similar "surge free" results and make sure the cat is still in place. If it was a significant restrictor, then maybe a slightly larger pipe to overcome (??)
Sounds like you're comfortable with some nicely bent in/out pipes will do the trick.
BTF,
Has my turbo with the upgraded wheel left your shop to go to the 1st tuner?.
Also did you guys exchange any info to help the tuner while he test his tune?.
Thanks

Nah,I promised myself I'd take it easy on this one for awhile.
Anyone looked at runnin' E85 in these? The injectors should be able to take it.
Do NOT try running E85 on an LNF. The entire system is not designed to handle it, having talked to some people in the know there would need to be several upgrades to the LNF physically to support E85 let alone the ECU reprogramming required to deal with ti correctly.

BTF, I'm looking at getting the RPI GT exhaust, RPI high flow cat down pipe, Hahn IC and westers tune on my RL before I get your BW turbo upgrade.
Do you think that exhaust and DP will be enough to elliminate the surge?
It didn't post right away cause i'm new and got passed by. Inquiring minds want to know
Oh heck yea brother been gone since tues or Wed.
Lemme see if I can dig up the tracking number.
He send me a PM.
It has been delivered.
Testing if weather cooperates will start next week.

No, The tuner that has it is in the north east the weather is not cooperating.
Lets hope things improve and he can do some runs.

I can not answer that question, maybe Bryan can post here as to why.

I would think it would hit the 300 RWHP.
The reason I am saying this is BTF mentioned the larger wheel keeps the speed of the turbine lower even at 22 psi.
We should find out this in the near future, not sure if BTF is going to buy the kit.
Also not sure if either of the tuners that will do the test with their own tunes will venture to test it with the new Stage II GM plus their own modifications.
Bryan from PCMForless has it, but weather conditions and the Thanksgiving Holidays put it on hold.
I am hoping Bryan has already started to work on it this week, will see if he has some results by next week sometimes.
