Lol.... "$40 Race plus whatever parts you break." Is the general cost of taking cars to the track..

Yes indeed!  I knew that going in as i was an avid tuned/modded g35 racer.  :P  Turbos however make that ''broke-it cost'' a lot more than people take the time to consider...

My frustration with this was the complete LACK of tech understanding with FORD.  I had to explain everything they needed to troubleshoot and everything they needed to fix.  it was ludacris ..

Update : Still fully functional .. replaced wastegates for the overboost and 1 blown turbo,  Plugs for the stutter.

Going to set it back up for the 15 pound tune tonight.  I cannot run full meth as the shittastic SNOW kit is leaking at the elbow they sold me... and they no longer carry the damn thing.  A bit pissed.  i found one from a third party vendor,  i will have to buy it.

Might be worth calling Julio over at Alky.... Kit has been flawless since install....

Glad things are working well none the less!

I probably will.  I  need to switch over to full braided.. which will require a new pump, lines, check-valve and elbow.
