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 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 ****..

 

So whats this do for next weekend?

 

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

 

I'll have the mini-turbo video up on youtube in a few ;p

 

Mmm - might have some shaft play - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQhkNBxIF00

 

Good **** Ern... sucks the turbo is blown but your right beats an engine anyday. That car has alot left in her mid to low 9's here you come. Can't you just have the old turbo rebuilt?

 

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

 

Cool... You guys have an event in Maryland this weekend?

 

Yea, Imports vs Domestics at MIR. Its the biggest event of the year around here. Two day event. www.importvsdomestic.com

 

I might go, I can spend the weekend at my cousins house in dundock. If I go I will look for you.

 

^^Its an awesome event...too bad big bird brakes every year! Looks like your setup this year though, better click off a 9 or im gonna give you some hell.

 

Thats right Ernie...No "***** Out and Break" routine...just plain ol 9's

 

Nice 60' times...

 

Its on like Donkey Kong

 

holla!

 

heading down tomorrow any info from today?

 

Im #3 qualifier. 2nd pass stripped the diff out. New diff goin in now. See you tomorrow!
