Thanks Don
I was really heating up the tires every burnout but the only one where it hooked was the one i didnt lol
Also the eibach prokit isnt helping things out for drag racing. Next time out i'll throw the 6cyl springs in see how it does and start making some adjustments

So Last week my Turbo went, bearings were toast! Was pretty bummed but figured i wanted to do a billet wheel so now is a good time as any to do it. So sent the turbo back to Bullseye Power and I think a few things were the reason for it blowing. Right before i noticed i had a ton of shaft play i blew the intercooler pipe off hard that could of been the last straw but just like Bill said at Bullseye, it was on its way out anyways. I also only have one BOV so i'm adding a second since that could of hurt it. Also have a 90 junk ebay fitting at the top of my turbo that is a little smaller than it should be i ordered -4 but we all know how ebay is! Anyways i upgraded to the Bullseye Billet wheel and turbo is on its way back to me.
Gotta admit when it first happened i was not expecting a good outcome since EVERYONE has problems when talking with turbo companies. But Bill Devine over there was awesome to talk to and helped with the problems. It was good that we found the problem instead of me spending a bunch of money getting a new turbo then having it blow again in 3 months. Will have the turbo by Friday and be back running this weekend. And making the same power with less boost Cant complain about that! He was just as excited for me to try out the bullseye wheel as I was. I want to try to get this tank into the 8s eventually stock bottom end!!

wow sorry to hear that, so it was pretty much a lack of oil that caused the bearings to go?

Well just make sure you find the root cause before you go ruining a new billet wheel turbo.

Ya we found out what it could of been so I fixed everything that was or could have been an issue before. I didn't want to just throw money away I'd rather an explanation of why

Just bought this today. After 1 day of running it its annoying staging one of these so this will help. And no extra weight of a 2nd set of brakes for the rear
