First 1/4 mile run on the new setup (VIDEO) + BAD NEWS AND GOOD NEWS
Bad news: Turbo is fried already...
Good news: Ordered this yesterday http://www.theboostlab.com/store/pro...4-Divided.html
AND I'll have a CREATIVE STEEL 8.8 ordered this week along with the slicks, excited to finally be able to put the power to the ground.

Congrats!!!!!
Congrats!!!!!
That was short lived. Congrats on the build, looking forward to seeing what's possible after the bugs are worked out! What gear ratio are you going with in the 8.8
ou change gearing to something a bit more longer? First must be downright unusable at that power level.
LOL @ 2 minute video 5 minutes long.
Sounds great going down the track though.

How did you hurt that new turbo already???
Nice clip Mang, the turbo gave me chill bumps. You're gonna TEST that 8.8 huh? (gulp) Bring it !! I'll stand behind it.
I dig the song too, never heard of Hurt before, had to Google it(don't get out much).

Yes, I am very excited for the 8.8, I have heard overwhelmingly good things about it, and Creative Steel in general. If theres any weak points with your setup I'll find em and we can fix em, but I doubt that will happen with what I have heard.
Yeah I never heard of them either until I heard that song on Pandora, been finding a lot of new music that way lately, its nice.

I expect problems with the motor if I puch it, but I can make the same power on significantly less bost, so as long as I dont turn it up, it will actually be safer for the motor. Either way, if it goes, the race motor is gonna be ready in October.
I dont see why everyone is so worried about the tranny, I know a guy thats making 1100+ on a stock t56 and he beats it to death, and roadcourses it... Who has blown the t56's in these cars?

91mm is gonna spool way slower. And i burnt up the input shaft and cluster gear in my t56 with 700rwhp. Extended highway pulls push all the trans fluid to the back of the case and leaves the front gears without lubrication and exposed to more heat. Im doing a sprayer setup now to make it live more then a few thousand miles this time.
And for gearing and tire size you have to figure out where youll be crossing the traps at. 4.10s and a 28" tire is gonna be 6650rpms at 135mph. I like long gears with turbo cars that are manily street cars. The less shifting the better.

Yeah the ebay turbos are hit or miss, I have had good luck and bad, I am getting it rebuilt with Garrett internals so I can sell for more than I paid... The new Comp 91mm should be pretty freaking ridiculous though, so I am excited, and even more so for the CS 8.8 and I am gonna do the 3.56 gears.
Whats up man! no all still stock, yeah first is necessary but not much more than that, be fine if I could use stickies...
