I will learn from your little gremlins I think.. will be attempting a home install XR6T turbo to my VN soon...

Any questions you have, just ask away. It has been a huge learning curve putting a turbo on the wagon.

I finally had a trouble free run at the drags.
Slowest time was 14.736. Not enough revs on the launch and she bogged down.
Fastest was 13.381.
Had a great night racing, only drama was when i changed the eprom over and put it in the wrong way. (woops)

Went to the drags again last night, had a few dramas, blow the cooler piping off on my first run and lost 2 hose clamps on the track or return road. Didn't beat my best time but picked up a few mph, fastest run last night was a 13.5 @105.14mph and 60ft of 2.169. Had a ball again though.

But on the way home the clutch was having some problems and i need better brakes, suspension and a 3'' zorst from the catback.

Nice work work pity about the few dramas but it look like your not far off 12sec pass.
My mates going to turbo his vp wagon bought a reco to4 off Proflow last week so we're (I say we because i built the motor and did the manual conversion) make some quick times with it.

How does the T5 hold up? What sort of clutch do you have.
Tom's currently has a HD sport tuff clutch in his we'll how well that goes

Im unsure of what brand ect the clutch is, it came with the 5 speed and was fairly new when i got it so i put it in but i think its a standard one. But i think its shagged after last night, slipped it back to 2nd when i was slowing down and locked the back wheels, then when driving home it was playing up. Took her for a drive this morning and yeah, not good. Think i will look at getting a excedy heavy duty clutch. If that doesn't hold then i wil look at a button clutch.

Yeah get a few weird looks, but most people don't notice its coming from the wagon.
