Not looking good for me. This is going to be an 11th hour decision.

Just an FYI… I went this past Sunday (yesterday) and it was beyond packed… I made about 4-5 passes from being there from the time the gates opened til about 3:30 PM. Also made the drive to and from the track. I doubt I’ll make the trip again this next Sunday but I hope you guys have good luck and solid passes.
Choda’s signature is aimed at me pretty well. 12.1 @ 128 with a 2.1 60’ spinning on street tires til the 1/8.
Best of luck if I don’t make the trip and maybe I’ll make it next year.

Now that its on all 8 cylinders its boosting to the moon (hitting 14 psi by 4.5k rpm) I think the spring is something stupidly large so i ordered the basic 6-8 psi spring from JGS yesterday. I will see if that is able to keep the pt7675 under control. At that point it just needs some clean up on the WOT tune. Hopefully i can make it and at least be all squared away on wastegate.

I’m not sure I understand the problem. 🙂
Also to be somewhat helpful have you made a full pul and logged it to see if the boost comes down and you are seeing a temporary creep/spike? Or is it hitting, gate opens, and it holds that boost ie wrong spring.

That’s odd. The wastegate looks to be in a decent place, and the right size. Maybe the valve is sticking a bit, or there is a burr or something on it? Could be springs too. Fwiw I ordered my Tial gates with 2lb springs, and they came with 7 lb springs.
Hopefully you can get the tune right too. It sucks you missed most of the year because of little bs.

Putting a new clutch in the car tomorrow in hopes of being able to make a couple passes. Smoked it last week. Barring any unforeseen issues I’ll be there.

It doesn’t look like I will be going unless by some miracle I look into fixing the meth and by some other miracle I find and fix the issue.

Calling for 59 degrees and rain, it will probably be a game day decision.
