yeah for some reason my motor doesnt like driving with a blown turbo....so no new times for me until i get that fixed.

i know how you feel torpedan. oh well well get our **** together one day and go hit the track together again. even though it really wasnt fair it was still fun. next time it will def be more fun.

Now i will race ya!!!!<p>Yeah sucks.. but i think your turbo will be a bit more costly than my clutch.. then again if you add the new flywheel and the clutch up that would equal the cost of the turbo..<p>either way once all is said and done i should have a good platform to bolt a turbo on and lay down some low times.. then find a new transmission to replace the peices i will have left

Would have had a high 8-9.00sec 1/8 mile pass today but the car wouldn't go into 2nd gear, so I had to slow down from 40mph down to 30mph to get it back in first cuz it just wouldn't hit second. I spun all the way through first and second, chirping 3rd for a :<p>13.3?? @ 73.?mph <p>
I was PISSED OFF!!!!!<p>I still almost caught the chump in the 5.0 Mustang...he had a .9 sec head start! I pulled on him hard as NUTS!!! I would have went again but they wanted me to pay a $10 buy back fee...so I told em to go take a fly leap & left that sorry @$$ track!!! They are a rip off!!!! I'll be going to Natural Bridge from now on...Eastside SUCKS, it's like a circus!!! Hopefully my turbo won't blow till I get a better time. It's droping boost on the top end of the RPM band from 16psi-10psi around 4-5K to red line (6350RPM).

Your turbo won't blow it just isn't efficienct past 14psi. Anything above that level and you need a new turbo. The vj-11 would help keep boost levels constant for you but it isn't really much of an upgrade.

the buy back fee is more like a rental charge for being on the 1/8 mile for 13 seconds

no seriously get some times for the 4 banger boys
