I feel your pain... I know one of these times I'm going to get in trouble because it's sooooo hard to not get into the boost sometimes.

I can't imagine having a 3 rotor in a FB. You'd kill yourself for sure!

Man, I just built boost for the first time today, and it was only the wastegate 5 psi. Still, it makes you feel uneasy when you hit 100 mph and are still pulling like a bat outta of hell. Uneasy, but definately smiling . Now if only I could get past the hiccup when the secondaries kick in . . .

Silly me, put the clutch disc in backwards. The part of the hub that is raised needs to go toward the transmission. I had to pull the tranny, but it only took around 4 hrs.
