^^^^^^This is 500% correct.

I've broken an axle because I forgot I put the r888 on it launching the car

Oh yes I'm not planning to use the line lock with the r888s. Was something for me to do while I waited for other parts to be finished up. I will also be getting a rear set of drag radials just for when times come up when needed on a set of widened TT wheels.

I appreciate the heads up!

On a side note, diff is back in and the rear wheel noise is still there. I still don't think its the rear wheel bearings as its pretty tight when checking for movement. Now I'm wondering if its that passenger side axle, something with brakes or if the LSD it self is actually shot...

Still not ready for tune, damn car is starting to get on my nerves

Changed out the the clutch master cylinder sense it got stuck to the floor on me....

Small random rev video my buddy took when he stopped by last night. Unfortunately, even after the diff being rebuilt it still wines. I had the car on the stands like in the video, went through the gears and went under the car to hear only the noise coming from the diff

Thanks sounds really good and not as loud as I thought it would be which is good.

Here is a video of me driving it the other day. First time getting it into boost. I got it to 6psi in this video than the gopro died. But later I got it up to 8psi and the car seemed pretty happy so far with no tune. Still taking it easy sense the diff sounds horrible and hasnt been tuned yet. I got another one lined up but waiting for pics from the guy. TT auto trd driff 3k miles.

Well the car made its way to FSR to get tuned and get anything fixed that might come up during tuning. It will be there for about a week if everything goes well.

While I was waiting snapped a pic


Got her aligned before going on the trailer.. Later on, I will get a full corner weight balance done when I get the car back. But for now this will do.



On the trailer. Was fun getting this thing on with our ripping the front bumper off.



Arrived at FSR. The car should be getting its pump tune done today I believe. Waiting for a call from Ian after that's done. Cant wait.

So got some results for you folks! First thing boost creep is kinda killing the tune but still working out. Ill have to replace the small 38mm gate with a bigger one like a tail 44 or bigger and maybe even add another one to better control boost. Ian had some trouble keeping boost under control on pump gas just because of the creep. BUT on pump he was able to hit 22psi at 5500 Rmp making about 450rwhp. Could have made power on pump but boost couldn't stay consistent so he had to stop there on pump 91 which is fine.

E85 is another animal. At the end of the day I think he was able to hit 600rwhp but not sure at what psi or rpm. I should be able to find out today. He did run into a slight problem with ignition. Started to break up around 550hp so he had to gap down the plugs some which seemed to help.

When I get the car back I will most likely setup lq9 coils to get better spark and to fix the break up but well see how it goes today. Hopefully he finish's today or Saturday.

Short video they sent me at the end of the day.

And I had too..
