I looked at the top of the likes list. Anybody heard from @Foosie lately? I think he popped his 'chute.

I’m still here, I’ll admit I haven’t been as active due to working on other projects and lack of available extra funds to push my sho to the extreme like Jordan. I’m 19 btw and I do all the work on my sho myself and fund it myself (by no means is this me asking for money I just take pride in it), I plan on upgrading the fuel pumps, injectors and going balls to the wall with my sho once I can afford too, in the mean time I’m building an aluminum “go kart” for lack of a better phrase, it’s a lot bigger than a normal go kart but somewhere between that and a junior dragster, costs for materials is cheap because I work at a metal shop and have virtually unlimited materials and tools at my disposal, and I’m also working on and daily driving my shitbox 01 Jeep Cherokee to keep miles Down on my sho

That's awesome! Thanks for hanging in there through the wayward thread. My son is also 19 and just bought a SHO a couple months ago. He's been doing most of the work and upkeep on it himself too. There's a lot of good info on here and most everyone is respectful. If you're able to see through playful jabs and not get your feelings hurt you'll do great here! I'm sure most everyone here will be very excited to help out a youngster such as yourself. Welcome aboard.

You may not be asking for money, but I am. Anyone that wants to donate to my "Make my SHO go Fast" fund please message me and I'll give you my PayPal info. :evilgrin:

Ha! I blame that new kid Ryan.

Him and his craptastic ***** mouth, and young teen, noob angst, directed at nearly everyone here since his joining.

Has been somewhat entertaining though admittedly.

Laughed at that video clip.

Been many years since I've seen that movie.

On these little turbos, the wastegate spring helps hold the wastegate closed under extreme pressure. If you increase the turbine flow, this drops backpressure and you don't need as much spring. The stock actuators have no problem achieving 22 psi of boost on my gen 3 turbos
and they can still cooperate at part throttle and low boost modes because I properly chose components and they all work in harmony.

So the Turbosmart wastegates would be a waste of money?
