Back in the saddle....shakedown passes @ MIR today
First trip down the 1320 this year. First pass short shifted to 2nd gear and still went 10.01@139mph
Second pass everything seemed great. Im bangin gears like a mad man, then 4th gear and POOF the magic dragon, lol.....I never broke a turbo before, but I must say its better then breaking drivetrain or the motor!
Here is the 10.01 pass

2nd pass where the turbo said "POOF"!

Another vid of the 2nd pass

2nd pass would have put me well in the 9's given I went 10.30 @ 109mph using 3 gears!

Here are the slips
First pass


This is the 2nd pass where the turbo took a ****..

Well, my new turbo will be on mid week. I'll hit the dyno just to be sure my map is ok cause this turbo is dual ball bearing so it'll spool quicker. In theory, I'll be faster

Probably, but I don't like the turbo. The shaft is weak and thin. It didn't make alot of power and wasn't reliable. I stepped back up to the Dual ball bearing version. This way i just swap the cartridge and im done and ready for the race this weekend
