Wastegate was dangling by ONE bolt!
 No clue how it got to that point.  My friend tightened all the hardware, replaced gaskets and everything is merry. Car is pulling very hard now. He alligned it...now it drives straight like an arrow...until boosting. Torque steer is still an issue. I wish it was a little bit but it's too much. Either pulls to one side or the other. Another friend of mine drove it and he got scared and almost hit the curb. And he drives an 11 second flat Mirage.  Anyway, the serious stuff will happen next month...I'll be able to install the EMS and the forged goodies. Anybody have a cure for torque steer? I have never experience such amount in any other turbo FWD car.

nice setup, OOBE. a few questions for you :
how long has your setup been going, and how much boost are you running? is the tq steer really that bad? what are your plans for the future? I remember your old video, I think you were misfiring or something in one of the cylinders, and the car still looked pretty quick. Do you have any more completed videos? |

QUOTE(sinner96ST @ May 11, 2006 - 9:33 AM) [snapback]432845[/snapback] nice setup, OOBE. a few questions for you : how long has your setup been going, and how much boost are you running? Since June 2003. I started at 3 PSI and right now I am at 12. is the tq steer really that bad? Yes, even with a fresh realignment...just when taking off. If going fast, it's not noticeable. I have never driven the car with the stock rims after turbocharging. It has had the 17" Enkeis all the time. Not only torque steer is bad, but also traction loss, especially when it's wet or raining. what are your plans for the future? Well, I am waiting to get out of the Army so I can return to my home and finish the car...that will happen this month. I have to do the tranny tricks, and install the torque converter, the EMS, and the forged internals. Manifolds and valves will remain stock for now so I test everything out. I remember your old video, I think you were misfiring or something in one of the cylinders, and the car still looked pretty quick. Do you have any more completed videos? I uploaded a few ones not too long ago. I'll re-post them!  -------------------- Past - 7A-FTE: Will never forget you
