Thanks i should have some vids up by next weekend, hopefully ill get to make a couple conservative passes at the local track to see where i stand with traction.... I plan on getting a 2-step, line lock, and a 9" narrowed rear in the future in order to blast off the line

Lmao blake u nut.... Got it on the road today for another tune day and had problems keeping the boost under 15#'s.... Got back home pulled off the wastegate to check the spring, boost controller and such... After taking the wastegate off found this



This is looking into the flange where the wastegate typically connects too, if u look closely the braided strands inside bunched up creating a huge restriction... Cut that flex coupler off and used straight pipe to the wastegate and i can maintain 10#'s, i tell ya what its freaking loud when you step on that gas pedal with a wide open wastegate and its definantly hard to stay in it because your making so much noise it sounds like everythings gonna blow up, guess it will take some gettin used to..... WOT is insane ill get some vids this weekend stay tuned!
