We knew the new turbo setup was lazy. We were not predicting it to take to nearly half track to get the turbo spooled all the way up. We would freight train the back half of the track but, waste too much room getting some steam going. On our last two runs we decided to launch the car(FWD) to get the turbo moving. We also upped the rev limiter to 9800rpm to give the driver a chance. Well it did not help is it went right to the limiter of course and locked him out of second both times. We have some ideas to get it into gear. This event was at only 38psi as we ran out of waste gate spring on the dyno and said we will see what happens at that. Plenty of fuel and boost left to go. Overall not complaints and the car did well. If we can find some money we will work on the flaws and safety equipment next.
