007 pete 379 c 15 acert 475 hp tires 11r 22.5
Serial no mxs596737
Im getting a really poor mileage 4 mpg at best 4.5s
The turbo gauge moves slow towards 35 psi. The pyro
Goes upto 10.5
As soon as I reach a hill or slightly elevated bridge or ramp
The speed drops to 25 to 30 mph.
I got dyno. The top hp came was 309
The dyno guy found exhaust manifold red hot and part of primaryy
Turbo also red hot.
I changed the mufflers as they were clogged to straight muflers.
A little better performance but not a great . The speed dropped to 30. And I had 68000 gross
Weight.
A mech opened the turbos to see if they were bad. The turbos
R in good condition.
Im attching photo of hot exhaust manifold.
Pls help. I have already spent 2500 dollrs and no result.
Thanks
