Track takes a lot of work. Nothing like 10 minutes above 5k rpms at WOT.
We added a 3.5" midpipe/downpipe, a smaller Garrett FMIC, new bushings, an inconel LIM heatshield, and a few other goodies. Turbo also smoked itself running a turbo blanket that time around. What works on the street, doesn't always work at the track.. Going back soon for more fun....

Yes, the turbo blanket contains too much heat, and the turbo cooked itself. If you look around the single turbo section there are other people reporting the same thing. Turbo blankets were designed for diesel engines that run considerably cooler.

Its using a 1.15.
I wouldn't recommend that size for a smaller track like this on an FC engine, unless you have all your ducks in a row. As in; full ignition, big exhaust, divided turbo turbo manifold with the correct size tubing, and a engine with great compression.
We did a bunch more mods, going back out tomorrow. Got another FD we built going with too...

What do you consider a big exhaust?
What would you say is the proper sized turbine housing for a car that will see street duty, tight race tracks, as well as tracks like VIR with a 4000ft straight away?
I'm really liking this TD61 turbo from threads I've read.

I must say, I'm vary impressed with those dyno number on pump gas even with the water/alcohol injection. Thats one hell of a tune
By the way, seen the video of your Rx-8 on streetfire yesterday, great job on that as well!
