    A big thank you goes out to Alex, Brian and Milo for their help and hanging out last night. No noticable creep at 50 degrees outside, 4 people in the car and AC with a full 4th gear pull! Yay :wiggle:

    If it gets any colder, that will be the real test :fawk:

    FYI: My stock turbo would creep sometimes in 5th and always in 6th when the temps dropped below ~45 (car was in track trim so it was a little light). After Will ported the WG it wouldn't creep till ~25 deg and only in 6th. So... I think 99.99 percent of the time you will be aok in atlanta....

    Ran out of space on the road, I'll be running 5th hopefully when its chilly (which doesnt look like this week at all, lol).

    Yes sir, I was seeing absoutely TERRIBLE creep when I was at TGP last (22 degrees outside, lol). I would creep top of 4th and top of 5th like a mad man, had me shifting at 5k in both gears :squint: Now, the weather says 70 degrees for tally this weekend, so that should be excellent. I was creeping under heavily load otherwise, chilly temps people in the car, 4th or 5th pulls. With the WG ported now, it seems alright. The turbo is making a slightly different pitch, but thats about it.

    part of that is cause hes also got a ported inlet on the compresser side now too. ;) (thanks genya)

    also let this be proof that a cracked vf39 does not hurt boost. i would be willing to bet 99% of the stis with vf39s have a crack. funny thing is "this is a bad turbo" is what weve heard all along. but is there any proof that the crack is harming anyone? no

    Well, a follow up. The turbo is still creeping. I am going to port my vf39 (even more so) since its out of the car now and swap that in and see if the problem is fixed. It should be, I know where to take more off this time now than before.
