I was asked to post this for a non-TDR user who recently purchased a Kwikspool B1A through Wildcat Diesel.......disclaimer-this is not an ad for Wildcat or KwikKurt, this is not my truck and these are not my words so if anyone finds this either exciting or disturbing remember I am only the muse

"Another pleased KS-B1-A [Kwikspool B-1 Auto turbo] BOMBer
Switched from a regular HX-40 non-wastegated to the B-1A and there sure is a big difference. First thing I noticed was the sound...definately moving some air.
Next thing was the rapid spool up.
First combination for the truck was DD 3's, Drag Comp [pump wire not hooked up], HX-40 and the Scotty Air II that SUCKS...Cool air.
I had some smoke on the bottom end but it was like a large gulp before the boost came on with that combination...I attribute that to 'lag'. max/spike boost of 38 and max constant boost 36.
Then with the B1-A hooked up I would get a more constant stream of smoke but not nearly as thick. Boost went up a few pounds to max/spike of 42 and constant of 40. The dyno runs show approximately 20 HP but we all know the variables there...driver, Barometer, altitude, time of day, wind speed and direction, temp of the george Foreman Grill and the color of the markers the dyno operator is using to plot the graphs.
It does feel faster and more responsive.
On the dyno with the first combination I would see egts climbing fast and I would be backing out of it when the temp was going over 1400F.
With the B1-A I would see 1275F max.
At this rate I will have EGT's in the freezing zone when I am done doing the 'censored' and the multi 'censored'.
During these runs the dyno room was 51-55C which is wayup there in the 110 plus F and higher.
I then tried an EZ pulse with the wire hooked up. Peak boost of 48 and constant of 46. Real smooth power but I do know I am at the limits of the stock fuel supply so the 'censored' system goes on next. Full out throttle all thru the gears and stayed on it to a speed that is over the posted limits and I never saw it go past 1250-1275F. This turbo can bark a bit but it sure does help the ETH purr!
Did I mention that the Scotty Air II SUCKS cool air?
Thanks Kurt Yardley and thanks for getting Wildcat hooked up as your Canuk Konnection. Rod will be sending you a farm grown custom blue sweater."
So who else is running one? Kat has one if memory serves me correctly.....anyone else?
