maybe I have a low gear ratio rear end... the thing will burn out in corners if I hit them under the right conditions... like at peak turbo boost.
I bought a vac/boost guage I will install to see if I am getting massive boost or something.
oh, the seal is still in place on the alda...
I guess the wastegate could be stuck in the closed position.
handles highway drives fine. passes without problem, easily first out of the light at intersections. steady 80C water temp, so it's not getting too hot. no black smoke on hard acceleration, but I do get some gray smoke on hard acceleration that I can see at night in the rear view mirror through follower's headlights, however I attribute that to valve seals/guides...
keep the ideas coming.
