HUGE THANKS to UMS for tuning my Turbo Mitsu Mini truck

Tuned the mini truck today, finally..

First time on the dyno, my brand new 3 week old clutch (stock) blew apart at 9psi. So I had to order a new clutch. I ordered a Centerforce Dual Friction heavy duty clutch, and a brand new OEM flywheel. Put them in, broke them in, and returned today to try our luck at hitting 300whp/300+wtq @ 18-20psi.

Also, before returning, I installed a 2g MAF, with a custom fab'd intake to work in my truck with the new oval-mouthed MAF. The intake was complete custom, and I also had the BOV flange and tubing done all by my boy All-Motor Mike. He's an awesome fabricator, BIG thanks to him as well..

Got on the dyno, pushed the turbo, and due to the clutch (Centerforce) starting to let loose, Tony tuned conservative. The truck made 243.9whp/256.8wtq @ 14.8psi. Not too shabby for a tiny little unexpecting mini truck, huh.. LOL

THANKS Tony & Jeremy.. Awesome, like always.

On to the pics and video..

Thanks guys, and yes, it started to slip slightly, so Tony backed off a bit. It's all good, I'll get it figured out.

Nice, get that clutch issue figured out and get back to the dyno with more boost

AMM does some amazing work I've seen some of his manifolds and they are just awesome looking and performing

Believe me, thats the plan. AMM is going to do my new manifolds, FMIC, chargepiping, then another tune.
