Ok, So I went to Jump Mania today with my dad and little brother.

Boy oh Boy.. what a ****ing waste of dollars.

It was at the superdome (which isn't massive, in fact pretty pissy) and of the 3 hrs we were there, there was at least 40mins of intervals. The rest of the time dudes came out on 50cc mini bikes and drove in a circle, lucky to get 3 feet off the ground, 4 dudes on motocross bikes put on a decent show for about 30mins in total, 3 little mini monster trucks drove in circles (again, lucky to get 3 feet off the ground) and the big monster trucks came out and drove in circles... oh, and at the end, these trucks jumped on some cars...

The wining points;

- Truckosaurous (or whatever its name was) - oh man, i wanted to die!! Ten mins before this comes out, they push out a shitty old VN commodore into the arena. The lights go out, the lasers start, the (get this!!) jurassic park music starts and out comes TRUCKOSAof tUROUS. Truckosaurous drives over to the VN, clamps onto its roof and lifts it off. He makes it look so easy! It looks like the roof might be... IT IS!! The roof has been PRE CUT! So the ****ing thing just grabs it and lifts it off... Then (and this was the exciting part, especially with the jurassic park music and lasers) it drives back and forth over a 40ft area for about 10mins and then retires out the back while people are booing... the VN is then pushed off the arena, and that was truckosaurous... give me a ****ing break!

- The Motorcross dudes. Ok, so these guys were pretty good, but get this, one of them does a jump in the first 10 mins and runs straight into the wall...

- The Mini Monster Trucks. Ripper, when these things weren't jumping a whole 3 feet in the air, they were limping off after ROLLING onto their roofs!! Top work! Of 3 of these retarded things, 1 remained runing at the end. There were bits of them and fuel/oil all over the place..

- The real Monster Trucks ok, so they cost $270k, they wiegh 7 tonnes, they have 1500HP chevs... but really, they can drive in circles as much as they want, but its kinda boring... no, wait! one of them broke down TWICE and the 2nd time had to get towed off... now thats kinda exciting...

- The Mini Bikes - the most exciting thing was when a guy tried a backflip and landed on his head....

Guys, I was almost counting the minutes... it really ****ing sucked. :)

Then, we have a massive ****ing hail storm... :D

who let the bogan into the vic section :)

i went to see truckasaurus in Canada when it was on tour from the US. that thing was a firebreathing VW stomping (it ran over 6 VW's and crushed em all to pancakes) beast. only reason I went to see it was they actually mentioned it in the simpsons, and anything in the simpsons is teh cool.

      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
