Years later I still dont get all the fuss over Mika. Never rated him...he needed the team to hand him wins and the team principal to completely mess with the head of his team mate ... then with the car under him was able to do the job. He is a Button at best

Because Finn

Everybody who wins the WDC had the car under them

He recognised his opportunity and got the job done, thats what is impressive

Isnt that right webber, fisichella, massa, rubens, coulthard, irvine etc

Coulthard, even with his retirement and rookie errors here and there was the pace setter. What Coulthard showed me was that the mental space of a F1 driver needs to be a pretty strong place. Coulthard wasnt and Old Ron having man love for Mika screwed with Coulthard in a very negative way.

Same can be said for Schumacher, Alonso, Lewis, and now Seb

Mika is alright, he's no top 5 driver or anything, but fcuk me, he's a boat load better than button

That fcuking hack. He makes me sick. If anything Button and Massa are the same person

Not sure thats true. I dont think Webber's performances have suffered due to Seb having a surrogate dad as team principal. The Alonso Massa thing has clearly messed with Massa's head space who alongside Schuey really grew into his own for a few seasons against TGF and Kimi. Alonso and the culture of the place does seem to have damaged Massa who other then the rare weekends like of late has been totally out classed by Alonso.

Lewis, well its less Lewis and the same offending team principal that was around when Montoya and Alonso walked rather than play the game.

Anyway...fark Mika. He robbed my boy DC of a WGP, ditto Vettel on Mark. My life woudl be very different I am sure of DC and MW were WDCs :)

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
