Im going to give up.

Took the TC to the track

first run was a shakedown, only had about 8-10psi in it because i just put the controller on, ran a 17 something, thats not important, second run, after having to "reconstruct" my boost controller, it made an insane amount of boost, blowing the upper hose off before i could lift, third run was a clean, and VERY dissapointing run

60ft-2.7

1/8- 11.2
mpg- 67.5

1/4- 17.14
mpg- 82.8

Even driving the car home, it made no power, i thought i blew out my bypass valve, but it seems to be fine, sounds as if it has a boost leak, but i didnt pull the intercooler off yet to mess with the hoses, i know my upper hose is about shot

ill take some time tomorrow to try to find out what the things problems are, then finish up the mods i plan on and just drive the thing, i chase more problems at the track than anything.

Well, i tore into the car, turns out that my lower IC hose blew off of its seat, an was leaking boost. Easy fix.

I also did a little bit of math, and if i were to get my 60ft down to a 1.9, i could have had a 15.60 or so, on 8psi, which isnt bad in all reality

So with full boost and a 1.9 what is your goal?
