My car is alright, ran out of tyre grip approaching turn 1, locked up, released, locked up again, released, locked up again... just went straight off the track into the kitty litter at about 120.

Tell you what, that wall comes at you mighty quickly... Ripped off the bottom of the front bar, cooler piping, bent the body metal where the cooler piping hole is, ripped a rubber joiner in half. Don't want to start the car since there's like a kg of sand and gravel in the piping... trailered it home and its now sitting on the street out the front of my house, now I need to work how how to get it 20m up my driveway into the garage. I'm thinking just AFM directly onto the crossover pipe so it'll run.

Went out with some of the guys tonight for dinner and drinks, 54 Jack and Cokes later I'm home.

bahahaha, probably went a little over zealous thinking it was only one parade lap - got a bit out of shape into 3rd gear wheel speed must of shot up to 150km/h + easy and touched the grass nek minit in a spin, too much iracing not enough real racing

serves me right for f**king around a bit - got some stern looks from the officials down pitt straight

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
