WE HAVE BOOST ! .. and a broken CV joint

[Sandeep]

Add another turbo to the Boxer AutoGruppe

At about 730 pm last night, the boost gauge read positive pressure and I had a huge smile on my face. I took the bug for a spin on the back roads and it is LOUD !. I have the boost controller in MS set for 10 PSI.

I don't have the DP flange back from Lanner yet, hopefully this weekend.

The engine is running rich at boost according to the LC-1 which is held close to the turbo with mechanics wire

I was coming down the road and down shifted from 2nd to 1st to make a u-turn and mashed the pedal and dropped the clutch .... broke the drivers side CV joint I had enough momentum to coast close to home and pushed the car the rest of the way. The logging software said 7 psi :agree:

Fortunately, I have a spare CV ... time to upgrade to bus CV's and 944 axles.

Now I just need an appraisal and insurance.

See you at the June meet.

Excellent!

You sound like I did first time I took my ghia out with the turbo, welcome to the land of boost and torque

Glad to hear your car is running with no major problems.

Sweet!!

Broke mine coming out of the burnout box in St. Thomas! Got T2's in it now.

I'll have to see it in July. I'll be MIA for the next 6weeks! Want anything from Germany?
