Hahaha… while I can’t say that I’ve never done that… that’s not what you heard in the video. I let off the gas in the video simply because the car scared the shit out of me. Keep in mind we only ran 5psi of boost previous to that run. That was my first WOT pull under 8psi of boost… so you can see how I wasn’t expecting it. The car torque steered like a bitch and kinda caught me off-guard.
As for the project, give me some time to let the frustration settle and then maybe I’ll try it again with a new turbo. I’m a very impatient guy with a short fuse. Tuning was supposed to be the hard part… yet it was easy as pie. The car was about 95% tuned. The installation was the hard part surprisingly. Exhaust leaks, oil line trouble, and then a fried turbo just set me off enough to call it quits for right now.
I’m trying to buy a house now anyway, so I have that to focus my time and energy on right now. Once things settle and I have some more time on my hands, then I might give it another go.
