even so though, if he was running 22psi, on that small turbo it would be a quick spike and taper down to a lower boost level like 15 or w/e..

that tiny turbo couldn't hold 22psi.. but still even if it was HOLDING 15psi, on a stock clutch thats nutty haha

^^ i did think about that. My t3 will hold that psi, but when it slipped was right when it first kicked in, then just got worse... Maybe since his is probably tapering down with rpm it stops slipping. Either way I bet he'd get a performance boost with a new clutch. that thing can't hold up much longer.

Where you at ham?

Gah sorry, got distracted with work. Business as usual there.

Stock clutch holds - it has begun to get a little worse though. I guess good things don't last forever. I am using an old gauge and its not an electronic boost controller, but a ball and spring, so my numbers may be a little bit off. I really do need to get some better equipment for it.

I currently am having a problem - I'll make another post for it. Once that gets fixed I can post some numbers.

you should pickup a act street clutch, not much harder to drive than stock and holds really well. The support dept. at ACT told me that it would be good up to 300 hp/ ft. lb easy.
