    with a lot of power and a grippy clutch, something will give... the tranny is solid, so maybe the axle is the weak link

    ^^^ exactly
    And I'd rather break axles than a transmission

    And I'm probably going to order some more shirts, a couple people have asked for one

    LOL. Do you have problems with the turbo holding boost in the upper RPM's? I have heard several Reds having problems boost wise. They would boost up just fine then "Pooooosh" lose boost and then immediately gain it back. Was very weird like it was blowing the wastegate open.

    Then again you are external wastegate so I would assume that would be the internal WG ones having problems. Ever heard of that?

    I had IWG for a while, for some reason it wouldn't boost over 24psi at all. I haven't tried the EWG on c16 and high boost yet, so idk yet

    We should run before/after the new turbo.

    Just an update or two

    Got my windows tinted. Nice, legal 35%.

    Trying to figure out my misfire problem today before I go back to TopSpeed on the 29th. Got 4 "new" coil packs and 4 new spark plugs. Hope it fixes the problem.......

    And also ordered one more part that will hopefully be here today :) Wonder what it could be

    It looks good. Not me, but good for you since that's what you want n' stuff.


    Just speaking from a guys perspective. It probably kind of looks like Big Boobs when you see it real fast. Unless a dudes wearing it. :eek4:

    I gotta go back in two weeks because the car won't rev over 6500. We think it's a Utec problem, so I may switch to Ecutek instead.
