[Supras] Turbo Mounting Nuts Loose

[Rockey Fox]

Charlie sounds like he knows what he's doing and the price seems reasonable so off goes the turbo to Ocala tomorrow. I'll let you all know how it goes.

Question, if I go with the 57 trim upgrade am I safe running the stock setup so long as I keep the boost level ~ 10 psi as I've been running on the stock turbo?

Thanks,
Rockey 91T
