I wonder what the danger of doing it on a rear mount car is, the chance that the fuel actually ignites in the turbo damaging blades or something? But none the less I want one too!

im sure it wont, a lot of ppl do it, most of the time the fuel ignites before the turbo I just wonder what would happen if it happened to ignite in it.

Rev the car up to about 6500, then push the clutch in (activate 2-step). Once the revs come down and it sparks for the first time.....................



I almost killed a guy in a SN95 GT the other day who gave me some pipe.

wouldnt putting the clutch in at idle and bringing the rpm to the limt set on the box do the same thing?

No. When you rev it to the moon and push the clutch, it cuts all spark while the revs are falling. Fuel and air are still flowing though. Then as the first spark comes down the pipe, it lights off all the **** that has been accumulating in there while the spark was cut lol. This is just good for a single loud as kaboom.

If you just clutch/gas it, it will come up and bounce off of the 2-step. This sometimes results in popping on my car (n/a), and does it most of the time on my friends turbo car (Sluggish). His sounds like an anti-aircraft gun alright. The higher you set the 2-step, the less it pops. When we had it set at 3k it would scare the **** out of you.

hahaha, so setting it around 4500 would leave it sounding relatively mild? i dont quite get how the higher u set it the less it pops..i thought it would pop more due to more fuel at higher rpm?

You're also burning more fuel to keep it at those revs, and there's less time between fire through the exhaust when the revs are higher, so less time to accumulate fuel. This is only my guess lol. I was expecting it to get worse with more revs too, but it doesn't.
