The compressor surge edition.

Seriously, that needs to be taken care of.

Aside from that, great job. It's really exciting to finally see one of these kits in action. Can't wait to see what happens with the tuning.

haha i love it thats what i figured it was but at 8 Psi... you hear that on alot of track cars. sounds cool but the price of sounding cool shouldnt be the turbo spinning backwards hah. Im going to invent the turbo surge BOV.

but yea, it does indeed sound like compressor surge!

it can be because it is set to tight so it opens really fast then shuts the opens then shuts. instead of a smooth open all the way then slowly close from there.

Keep up the good work
It sounds much more agressive than my twin charged '02 MCS w/ SuperTrapp exhaust did.
I had a friend w/ a 5 series Bimmer back in the late '80s w/ an after market turbo and it blew off just like that w/ the flutter.

Mtuning3, when you are done, bring it to Lime Rock. You can have some real fun there w/o being interrupted by the law.

PS: You should upgrade your brakes before going ...

I can't wait for Limerock this summer, doing some skip barber and all that.

I agree, I think bringing it up there and getting some vid would be awesome.

Very true Longboard, espeically in our town, the roads are full of potholes, making sure not to hit them and focus is not easy while only using one hand to shift and drive.
