hahah, I've been told never to run my car on high untill i get a decent (LARRRRGE) air filter as 3 of my mechanics said it will suck so hard, pull apart and eat my filter atm. Thats ok. I never run my baby on high. Traction is a bitch as it is, and i ****en hate it!

hey foney my understanding of bleeding boost of the wastegate line for an external gate was that it was the same sort of set up as an internal gate (bleed valve in the pressure line to the actuator ) but dean recons that you can only bleed off like 1 pound that way he recons that you need to set it up on the line that is above the diafram in the waste gate an hold the pressure in that side or some **** how is your boost tape plumbed in ? i raced brendon thymbal (sil 80 fluro green and black full fast and the furious rb20 with computer and 500 or 600 hp turbo running 18 psi made 225 kw on tms backed off from 240 for reliability) he beat me by like two car lenghts i didn't think my car felt right because he just pulled away upon arriving home i descoved that the piece of silicone pipe joining my turbo to my intercooler piping was split almost all the way around big boost leak i fixed it but i think but i am not sure but i think that i might still have a leak has any one ever had a problem with their blow off valve leaking

yeah i don't think i am just a bit paranoid but yeah the motor is definitly on the way out i have another motor in the makings but that won't happen for a couple of months yet the old 300 tho has A 12 in it yet but notice how the A is emphasied by a capital suggesting that maybe there is A single 12 pass in it but we will see how we go i need to launch my car better on the street i left marks about 20 meters long even with the split in the piping too many revs and too keen to get the petal on the metal Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

***** off dean you will see that 12 16psi rings in sump afterwards if the pistons aren't melted or the head gasket is blown and i think that my car possibly is capable of a 13.2 right now with slicks took .5 of a second of before i only said one pass foney your set up is well and truely capable of doing 12's boost exhaust and tune slicks and bam 12's easy peasy that motor will last a long as you will have the car as long as you don't lean it out with a gay tune or something your car wouldn't be far off a 12 now with slicks a half a car length is ***** all at a 100 mph + it would be like one or two tenths max
