That is what is considered a small 16g turbo then? Very well thought out car for reliability, and would be a fun as hell DD. Very nice runs, glad you didn't puppy kick with the unit.

Thanks! The races were way too good to worry about opening the bottle. Even if he was out a couple of cars, that would be more than worth staying all motor.

No it's an Evo III turbo, which is not a small 16G. I can't remember the flow numbers of the small 16G but the Evo III is a stronger snail.

Whenever I see the big 16g brought up, it's normally for slightly high hp builds from what I recall, like near 400 hp or so. Or I just haven't looked at DSM stuff in a LONG time.

Was he revving it out too much or have a boost leak? The power is there for 110mph traps.

Wish you could have got that on tape, I would have loved to see that on film.

Everyone was expecting higher trap speeds, but being his first time to the track with the car I'm gonna wait to see if he improves before jumping to any conclusions. I'm sure a lack of power shifting isn't helping, but he should have that covered shortly. I'll let you know how it goes on his next outing.

They weren't the best for film since people would have been complaining about the dig run not being very good. I'm sure we'll line up again and I'll try to get it on film.
