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
Really thought something in the motor let loose but alas no smoke from behind me and no trail of oil
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* 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?
