A boost controller with some sort of staged control would definitely help i think, i'm surprised you don't have an EBC yet. Not that you really need that much more boost though, haha. that seems plenty to me. but i guess if you are going for the numbers. looks like you will get to the 500 mark.

yeah, government + nuclear reactors = lots of internet blocking.
i will get the video from home later...

God damn Aaron!!!
Turbo sounds crazy!!!
And you want to push 17lbs?!?! I don't think the rubber will hold!

14lbs is more than enough for my taste...

Great to see the car back on the road. I'm sorry I couldn't see it at MOTM. But I'm sure we'll see her before the end of the season.

Nice numbers! Your making me miss my high comp again. Who know's maybe I'll go back over the winter. Glad to see you finally got a chance to make some runs. Looks like your in the same boat as me, my 60ft times are crap. Mines set up for lapping mostly, but I get the same wheel spin. Maybe I'll see you out somewhere before we have to park them.

That's exactly what I'm looking for. So far it seems the AVC-R is the only controller that will do the job, but at $700 it's more then a little pricey. Hell, I can buy a standalone for that much...Only a drop in the bucket as far as the car goes though.

The wastegate seems to open early around 8 PSI, so a boost controller will really improve turbo response. Not that it's lacking, but it will make the throttle easier to modulate.

It sounds so nice. The video captures about 75% of the experience. I can't even imagine what 17 PSI will sound like.

Oh, we're well past that point already.

14lbs is more than enough for my taste...
Yeah, but you're a wuss with your little GT35R...

1st and 2nd just spin the tires, and if you catch 3rd right it will spin as well. At the top end of 3rd and in all higher gears the car just hauls hard. For now I'll just have to practice the launches and keep the thing out of boost until the car gets moving, but realistically the tires are going to spin either way. Next upgrade is an LSD for sure.

Aaron,

I have a brand spanking new EGT kit from Pineapple racing if you'd like to borrow it. Let me know.
