Sounds good! Is that the regular T78 or the TC76? How much are you expecting when you turn the boost up and get a clutch?

I seen your car up there when you first dropped it off. Think looked clean. I didn't get to hear it he was messing with your alternator. Sounded good, fix that clutch!

That was just dumped after the down pipe. I had the exhaust finished up and I have a Corsa catback. Will have another video after we put in the new clutch.

It is making 383hp right now.. hits about 5psi at 3200rpm then a steady drop down to about 3psi or so... the motor is loseing load at about 3k rpm. Im sure the stock clutch and my leaky dripping running rear seal is not helping at all...
