Hey Code, if you don't mind I have some q's for you....

-T400 yes?
-Where you racing at?
-What gas are you running?
-Is that turbo from Jose @ FI? How big is it, 78mm T4? How big is it overall sizewise?
-HPT 2 bar, SD?
-What rpm you shift at?
-How long do you have to brake it to get into boost at the track?

I'm thinking I'd maybe get one of these turbos for my Speed Inc. truck manifold kit, and put this kit in another car I'm looking at

-T400 yes? It's a T400 with some special goodies

-Where you racing at? Spokane WA the track elevation is 2500 FT

-What gas are you running? I had some 110 race gas that I have since found out may be oily? IDK the brand but I will not use it again

-Is that turbo from Jose @ FI? How big is it, 78mm T4? How big is it overall sizewise? Yes I got it from FI.com It is the tc 78, it is tiny I still use puller fans with a turbo blanket

-HPT 2 bar, SD? Yes

-What rpm you shift at? My light comes on at 5800

-How long do you have to brake it to get into boost at the track? It is super quick, watch this vid & you can hear it. Some guy was filming at the track & posted on his site. Quality vid compared to mine vid.

Yes it has a t brake. Funny thing is that I have a 2 step also but it went bad the day before. It just made the engine die without engaging it. I am sending it back to LPE.

I love seeing someone else prove that the 2.75's can work well for a street car. They definately aren't optimum for drag racing but they still work decent.
I run 3.23 gears.
