240hoke Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Well I took her out to fine tune my fuel curve for 20-21psi last night. Tuning with my innovated wideband out out in the country I did a couple 3rd gear pulls. On about the 4th pull turbo spooled to 21 psi hit about 4500 rpm and BAMMMM. It made all sorts of racquet. Anyway I managed to slam it into second gear and drive it for a bit to grind up all the pieces so I could use the other gears. Turned up the radio and drove home lol. Heres the carnage, basically 3rd gear is completely gone I can use at like nuetral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
