OP
Nice
After a lot of waiting, I received the Mk17 EVO2 last week (paired with a S620Ti).
The hose I had planned to use for the primary second stage doesn't lay correctly, so I have a couple others ordered to try.
Inflator hose will be fine, and no issue to add an SPG off the other HP port.
@rsingler was so kind to teach me some of the tuning basics, and we got it set to an IP of 135psi. Out of the box, it was on the high end of the spec at 140psi. Will get a bit of lube on the cap threads, as advised.
The cracking pressure on the 620Ti was right on spec, fortunately...that adjuster is a serious PITA to get to. The G260 needed a little tweaking, but was easy to do. Adjustments were oh so precise using the tub of water and ruler method.
Thank you again, Rob!!!! I had a lot of fun learning some new skills, and I promise not to be "dangerous" until I get onto a full seminar down the road. LOL.
I have a pool session scheduled tomorrow to put the rig in the water and blow bubbles, and will be taking it for a LOB trip at the end of the month (fingers crossed on getting the hoses sorted before then).
