Well after running 10.083 last week i wanted to go back out and get that 9 sec slip after changing nothing on the car just the attitude of leaving a bit harder.

Well that track prep was a lot diff than last week........for the worse :(
Had to adjust the pressures down in the Hoosier's to about 14 F / 16 R and still had a bit of wheel spin in first which killed the 60' and bogged the car on the 1-2 shift slightly falling out of 38psi of boost :crap:
And on the best run of the day through 3rd gear................i banged 4th and then it just fell flat on it's face :eek:
Really thought something in the motor let loose but alas no smoke from behind me and no trail of oil :confused:
Didn't hear any sort of pop to lead me to believe it was an i/c pipe blowing off so i was glad to see this:

Easy fix but i'm now contemplating swapping to another turbo as we have a customer that wants my 35r as his 30r is toast.
However i'm up in the air about now making a few more changes to the turbo, fmic, and also the i/c piping.
I run an AMS street i/c and have logged IAT's in the heat of the Sac summer at the top of 4th at over 160* :eek: so maybe a change is due for that as well and if so then i think we'll fab up some new piping to match.
What do you all think?
