I have nitto 555r drags with siping on 35psi I didn't do any cool burnouts or hard launches since my axles are on the way out. Got like 2.2 60ft. I did a boost leak test and I have no leaks it holds pressure great. I think its over boosting/spiking since my exhaust is so free flowing 3" downpipe 3.5 test pipe back. I have a 2" restrictor ring welded in the downpipe..

I went last night, I got there at 6 and left by 730. I didn't want ti have all the big crowds and long waits to run. I also didnt want anyone telling me how much i was holding back and I could hit it a lot harder, I know its a lot faster.

Rufus, so you can blow air through the valve toward the intake, but not back towards the booster right?

Sterlingae, you on twins? How are your coil packs? What kind of plugs and at what gap?

The coilpacks all look fine I don't have any idle issues or drivability issues. Still has the plugs it came with they looked nice when I got the engine so i left them alone. I have had bad coil packs and wires before so i know what it would act like. Feels the same as when my ka would hit speed cut. I'm pretty sure it is boost cut..

Don't have one hooked up yet. It sounds like 14psi though the turbos are pretty loud.
Doesn't do it in first gear

I need to get some new axles this week, also going to order a boost gauge and a Silvia gtr style grill. Got to start saving for another diff the welded is going to kill my axles too fast haha.

Damn I wish I could have seen this post earlier. I was going to call you today after work and see if you were gonna head out there. Got home and hung out with the family all day. Oh well, maybe next time. How did you do? I have to tear down the exhaust side. I'm chasing down an exhaust leak and haven't been able to look at it yet. Just got over the flu and haven't had the energy to even open the garage door.

Are you going out to cars and coffee tomorrow morning? If so, can you bring out the FCD? I was thinking about heading out there early to check out the exotics. I might bring out the Supra exhaust leak and all. I still have to attempt to put some kind of milage on it every once in a while.

Rufus I just tore down my hot side because I forgot to tighten the wastegate flange! !! And it was nearly impossible to tighten with it attached to the engine. Oh well, where did you get vacuum hose for your wastegate from? I need some to hook up my boost controller.
