Black VN V6 Turbo
Rear main looks good thankfully, Im guessing the valley gasket let go just in the nick of time. I dont mind giving up the burnouts, itll just encourage me to aim for 7's ;)
The gauge was reading around 4, but im not 100% how accurate it is. Saw you vid on youtube against the vl turbo. Looks good mate ;) Any recomended head gasket to run?

The car would have done better if i didnt listen to people there and lower the pressure to under 15psi on the rear tires haha they are only remoulds i think that killed my times alot first run was a 8.9 2nd 8.8 then lower the tires and the best i could do was 8.8s but i was getting better at driving and shifting but oh well some slicks would be nice.

Dont go cheap on the headgaskets, i just got some Felpro head Gaskets from Sprint auto parts they seem pretty good and have lasted alot longer then the el cheapo ones but a tune is what really makes the difference i just made sure the motor was running cool with a lower thermostat and putting the pod to a colder area wrapping exhaust all the basics but they add up.

I just did a start up of my car today with the turbo manifolds on to blow all the crap out of them and started fitting all the goodies so i should have it ready for a couple of drag meets and get some more vids up.

you realise ACL race gaskets say on them not for boosted applications

At least you're doing SOMETHING ^_^

And don't blame the weather. That's my excuse. Already taken.

No i didnt actually. Bloody auto bahn could have mentioned that. Ill look into it a bit further before picking them up. Surely been kevlar supported and all they should hold out better than a standard gasket...?

Yeah but my dedicated cross country mountain bike had a sticker on it which said "not for offroad use". Think it might be one of those warranty claim thing'os. They are not designed for boost however still work well with it... If they didnt say that, every douche bag with 50psi worth of boost would keep blowing them and claiming a faulty product...

aZk.
