Moved my turbo Formy...
John are you just on a T-Brake or do you have a 2 step too??? Maybe if you could load the turbo up then you could get alleviate a little of the lag...You're running a BS3 so that should be one of the built in options right?? Just a thought... You're light years ahead of me but sometimes an outside perspective can give a little insight to a problem...Good luck and don't sweat the haters...

Yes I am using the BS3 2 step right now. The other guys are teasing me because they all hunger for my body.
Like Matt said before, I have to get heat into the turbo, and then make sure the turbo is boosting before I let go the brake/2 step. I was letting go before I went into boost.

Do you have a turbo blanket on to keep some of the heat in the turbo?? It looks like you are going to be very close like everyone is saying but a little tweaking here or there will net some very impressive gains... Good luck
As far as building a lb or so on the footbrake before hitting the trans brake, are you'lls cars stalled alot higher or looser? My converter from Neil Chance is tight like kyles and my brakes don't hold the car after 2000 rpm.

MM-- I got 28X10.5 non-W's to fit on a rear narrowed 3" total. With 15X10's on a 5.5" BS. I was going to narrow 2" per side but decided it would be too much with my given BS...
These tires tuck under the top part of the TA's wheel well by about 1" and stick out 1.5-2" down at the point were the side skirts meet the body. They would not fit at all with non-adj LCA's. And by looking at it, the offset LCA's were a good idea because there's only like 3/4-1" between them and the tires.

Bogarts + 325's or 28W's = stock LCA's
Bogarts sit out a little more than a 15x10/7.5 ProStar, the same combo on a ProStar would require severe BFH'ing and more cutting. I do have my bump stops cut off.

I hear ya on that...... mine is tight... i guess thats what makes it so streetable also.....
Im not going to worry about that right now.....
Just like PSJ is saying..... were both going to get more seat time with the TB and 2 step and im sure from there both of us will keep getting faster and faster with the same boost setting each time......
Then it will be time to up the boost....

Ahh, the misconception that a "tight" converter is bad for a turbo car.
Stall speed off boost is not a good indicator.
A converter that couples HARD when it's suppose to, and has the proper shift extention isn't based on stall speed alone. Let the thing use the torque it's making.
Does no one test a combo before throwing parts at it anymore??

I'm fine with my converter and don't plan to change it out. I was mainly just questioning how you all are footbraking the car with the converter being tight when there is no boost on it.

It drives awsome on the street....
At cruise on the freeway @ 55-60 MPH im usually between 125-150.
Its a lil warmer in stop and go rush hour traffic
Thats about 150-185..... then when she's back up to speed on the freeway she drops pretty quick back to between 125-150.....Kyle
