Heard about this at the Shootout. Not sure if this is the right word, but i think the community understands. Bittersweet.Congratulations on retirement and thank you.

Really sorry to see this happen. Wish Tim and family a healthy recovery.Fires spread unbelievably fast and its good to see this bringing awareness to the community on having the right equipment to combat them if anything.

Just popping in the Hangout to see what's going on. Couldn't find the exact thread I was looking for, but this will do.Always good to see old names still at it.

RIP DSMTrader... those were different times.

Run a light wheel and tire combo.Personally I wouldn't run slicks on the back. You want as little rolling resistance possible on the back.

Remember walking over to his pit at the Shootout just to say hello. This was when he ran the Black 1gb and noticed this pile of "stuff" there. I kind of glanced around for him and all the sudden I hear this scraping noise... he was pulling his entire exhaust off too! Thought it was pretty great...

Anybody have any insight on this? Seems to be very hard to diagnose.

I laughed way too hard at this.

The Non turbo booster is much slimmer than a turbo unit and bolts right in.

Look over your logged intake air temps after a long pull and see if they are in an acceptable range like others have mentioned. We could use some real data to form these opinions of ours. ;)

I've noticed the increased link backs to here as well! Good to see.

Any cracks in the air intake tube?

First picture, single pin is your Tachometer test connection.Second picture looks like the factory cruise control plug.Neither of which will cause idle surge.

Im surprised it even runs with compression that low... two gauges? same readings?Front end leak would likely be the water pump. The belt doesnt always get wet when it leaks. Makes sense as the motor turned the shaft seal would leak.

I'm personally hoping a deeper engagement fixes the issue. Wondering if the worn gear was allowing it to ride up and disengage.
