Well after tons of issues forever it seems, I got a decent baseline on the car tonight.

1st pass I turned the boost controller down a few turns to be safe. All my runs were off the footbrake also. My best run was right off the trailer, I tried up'ing the boost and playing with tire pressure but the track and the car didn't like each other. My best 3 passes

10.24@138.8 1.78 60' on 8psi
10.43@137 1.94 60' on 10psi
10.33@138 1.91 60' on 11psi

I went 138 3 times on various runs, but the 2.1-2.2 60's really hurt the et (high 10s)

331
MPT70
TW heads
Glide
MT DR

Finally getting there, the lil 500$ turbo really surprised me.

To bad it was a "street racer" night with minimal prep and my 60' sure showed.

Yeah almost 139 mph on that turbo, I am still shocked!

yes that is the goal, but it will not do it with this turbo. I have a 88mm waiting but I wanted to sort the car out 1st.
I never thought i had a chance at 9's period on this turbo, but it looks like it may happen when I turn it up some and launch hard on the transbrake

Nice congrats

Didn't you just put this turbo on not that long ago?

I don't know much about turbos so forgive me if this is a stupid question . Is it possible to use a turbo that's too big for a certain setup?

Thxs man!

I have had this turbo for 3 yrs, but I could never get the car to run right with the AEM.

Yes you can mismatch a turbo to a setup.

DAMN Chris! I never though a MPT70 would be capable of that! I'm blow away with the trap speed with a glide and that low of boost!

Me to Paul, I was and still am shocked!

I was also shocked with the ET footbraking a Glide, the 60's were a joke. Really makes me think what this turbo can do.

Yeah I had alot of fun on Sat, low boost, car was great. No need to go mess a good thing up just yet haha. I want to race it this way for a few months and see if I can actually get a $500 turbo in the 9's on boost only...that would be something imop.

Sad thing is the track want's me to get a NHRA lisc based off my mph....guess if I want to go fast thats part of it.

Also the car made 570rw on 11psi. Those autos really eat some power up because 138mph aint no 570rw haha.
