Working on a friends car tonight we finished installing his turbo and ran into a problem. I don’t know whats wrong with his setup but it doesn’t seem to be running right. When we go wide open throttle it doesn’t make any boost. 1st through 5th, nothing… Any Ideas? Here’s a pic of his setup so far: ![http://membersdb.son240sx.ca/images/membersdb/1010_picture_3847edit.jpg](http://membersdb.son240sx.ca/images/membersdb/1010_picture_3847edit.jpg) ---

Adam I wonder if Gonad will be able to keep up next season. Either the changing radio stations on the track…or his lack of an operating engine will count him out :lol: Bring it on KAT basher. 😛 Andrew. ---

Man I wasn’t changing radio stations. I was fine tuning my weight balance. By turning the knob, the radio station needle goes left to right, thus allowing me to adjust my weight distribution. Trust me guys, I won’t disappoint you. :o ---
