hi mates. i let a friend drive my car tonight. he tried a burnout in 2nd gear on the brakes and my clutch slipped for about 10 seconds roughly. wheels were spinning but clutch was slipping away and ended up smelling burning clutch.

seems ok now but just wondering if it would have damaged it. its got billet flywheel also. seemed to engage good going up a hill dropping clutch in second abit later after that so i dunno.

just worried about stuff like that

You would have put heat spots in the flywheel for sure, also taken some life out of the pads.

damage yes,

needs replacing? no, not unless it slips again after it cooled down properly.

just allow to machine the flywheel next time you replace the clutch

Don't let your mate drive your car. He sounds like a f*cken idiot

+1. Also, to quote Clarkson "[On the Enzo Ferrari] “I rang up Jay Kay, who’s got one, and said: “Can we borrow yours?” and he said, “Yeah, if I can borrow your daughter, because it amounts to the same thing.”"

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      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.
