So i took my car out to bandimere(mile high) for the first time. i have never really launched this car and still I think my 60 ft was decent. I launched at 5k and gave the slightest chirp. I have a 87 tII with tid, tb mod, 3inch exhaust, safc, pump, and boost controller. I was running 14-15 psi on the streets. I ended up with a 2.1 60 ft and floored it through first, shifted to second and noticed the boost only hit 12 psi, then I shifted to third and pow I hear this really loud pop and lost all boost as i floated over the line at a 14.5. I was upset because the car next to me I had a few cars on when I shifted to third and he ended with a 13.8. I know that was a low 13 pass. Well i pulled over(the car stalled) and noticed that my ic pipe had blown off along with 4-5 vacuum lines including the bov line. SO I put everything back together and took it for a test spin and then it would not make boost at all but you could hear the turbo spinning and whining loud. SO I had a boost leak of some sort but a solid idle. I took the car home(no boost the whole way) and took off the turbo, ic, manifold, and all the piping. Im upgrading to my t04 and fmic this week but I wanted some solid numbers before the new turbo. Oh well Ill never know now but im pretty sure either there was a leak from those stock crappy clamps or the ic is cracked and leaking. Pics will be up soon. Anybody know a good free place to host pics from??

That sucks man. Are you running the stock turbo on that setup?

I was on that setup but now I have a t04. Things should be different next time I run.
