Well the turbo gave up this weekend, Brian Macy at Horsepowerconnection.com let me use his 91.5mm, saw 29lbs of boost on the datalogger, the exhaust a/r was big 1.31 a/r, car sure spooled slow, but when it hit it would flat out move. Derick ran a 7.87 at 178mph with his beast, fridat night he put it on the back bumper!!!

To clarify, you siezed your old turbo or the 91.5 that Brian let you borrow? Sorry to hear that. Always seems like one hassle after another.

Damn Derick's car is just haulin' some ass!

so what kind of numbers were you running with the big boy at 29lbs?

was the one that failed the same one (TV7512?) you were running last year or had you upgraded?

I lost the 88mm tv7512, Macy's 91.5 with a 1.31 a/r would not spool on the line and the car was a real turd tell about 200 ft then all hell would break out and smoke the tire's, I didn't really get a good time, I'll be changing the a/r on the 91.5 to a 1.00 a/r, should work great.
