In the thrilling world of high-performance engine modifications, the team at Rob Dahm's workshop is gearing up for some serious power upgrades. With the addition of a cutting-edge 76mm wide aluminum intake gate from Turbo smart, they are set to revolutionize how boost is controlled in their engine setup. This innovative gate will act as a referee, ensuring that the engine doesn't go into overdrive by limiting the total pressure and flow of air into the system. Alongside this, the installation of EGT sensors for each rotor promises precise monitoring of turbo temperatures, a crucial aspect in optimizing performance.

Aeromotive's high-capacity fuel pump, capable of supporting a staggering 5000 rotary horsepower, adds another layer of excitement to the mix. The team is prepping the engine for testing on an engine Dyno, with additional safety features being put in place for a smooth and secure testing process. As they work on installing air to water intercoolers to enhance performance, they encounter challenges due to the asymmetrical setup, requiring creative solutions to ensure optimal placement.

Amidst the intense preparations, a moment of light-hearted fun ensues as the team indulges in creating a Patrick Star-themed design, showcasing their playful side amidst the high-stakes modifications. Despite facing challenges with the placement of intercoolers and exhaust systems, the team's determination and expertise shine through as they successfully calibrate the Boost gate to effectively control boost levels. With systems checked and prepped for running on a mix of oil and fuel, the engine is poised for action, ready to unleash its full power potential on the Dyno.
