The 16g ran awesome...for 6 laps. Then I smoked two pistons on the longest straight (around 120 mph). I think I ran it out of fuel no doubt due to the stock fuel pump and injectors. So the motor is trashed and will get a good setup. BUT the turbo pulled way harder than stock, especially on top end. It was able to hold 15 psi at factory redline...so no, there was no dropoff on boost. Actually it was kind of spikey and I was seeing full boost at almost exactly 3000 rpms with a serious punch coming off of the corners. I didn't bother with the camera because this was just warmup laps, but I did get some video of a street run at lower boost. I knew I should have thrown a fuel pump and the 550's in there.

I have the feeling that this turbo could hit 300 whp with one of the best powerbands for roadracing.

DANG.
