I didn't think it was that bad. I only spun one pass but that was also trying to launch off 8-9psi and the trans brake. It was better than the last Friday night I was down

If your turbo is a BB turbo you want 40-45 oil psi going into turbo. If its not ball bearing you can run more oil psi to it but still might need a slight restrictor if its leaking oil. This is assuming your oil drain is draining properly and you dont have alot of crankcase psi causing your problem. Id call your turbo manufacturer and tell them what your oil psi is and they can tell you what size restrictor to use.

we did...they said DON'T

oiling a large frame turbo is different than small units...

based on what I've been told by people in the know, I should have this resolved today once my parts show up

building a vented catch can under the turbo that holds 2qts. turbo drains into can and pump pulls oil from can into oil pan. Just finished building the can, just need the weld in fittings so I can plumb it in.

Deff a sick race. I love races that are that close.

Yeah it went 10.0 at 137 with a 1.47 60 foot at atco with 150less rwhp and 200Lbs's heavier....

1.7 60 at cecil is no good... But the car is up almost 7 MPH which deff shows the power. We are hoping for 9.6 at 144 once we get it dialed in.
