Clutch Kill Switch... Will a stock T56 take it?? I am currently assembling a rear mount turbo. One of the guys in the turbo section suggested an ignition kill switch on the clutch lever so you can shift under WOT in order to keep the turbo completely spooled up. I race motorcycles and know a lot of guys that do that kinda thing but that is alot lighter with less power. What would this do to a stock T56? Also, is there any basic mods needed for the T56? Or is it a run it stock or buy Viper parts kinda thing? Thanx!!!

I shift under wot W/OUT A kill switch.
It just takes good hydraulics & driving.
I use a 2 step at the drag strip & lauch of it & the trans is OK.
but w/ boost anything can break, specially powershifting it.

Forgive me for being stupid, and whoring the thread, but can anybody tell me why you need a somthing like that, and why in the world would the turbo not still be spooling with all that exhaust still coming out?
Sorry for being stooopid.

If you don't powershift, the closing throttle blades cause the BOV to open and momentarily reduce the exhaust gas volume at the same time. This requires time to fully respool the turbo after the shift. Personally I just powershift without a spark cut.
