"but there is no test that gives you accurate results for so cheap."
I think the best measure of a cars performace with the least amout of stress on the car and taking the driver's abilities out of the equation is the 60-100mph, 3rd gear test.

Wheelhopping is usually caused by too stiff shocks (for dragracing) but could be combination between many things (worn out bushings, shocks, rear suspension alignment etc).

95ONE: You need to get with PorschhhJohn. I think he is in Houston. Done a lot with his car and is really into the turbo/import scene as a whole.

Ok. I happened to get on it a bit from a stop light the other day and noticed it. Mostly becuase it has never done it before.

If you can't afford it. then don't do it. This is what I do for a living. Build turbo cars and race for fun. Parts are wholesale, labor is free. I'll break it all day long for fun. SO what. But if I had to pay those ridiculous prices. FOrget it. I wouldn't drag race. I also Autocross and go to Texas World every once and a while. I just went last month to Houston Motorsport Ranch. Great Place. I love my job.

Yes. DanaT, It's a two stage sort of thing. It is raw fuel dumping into the turbines therefore loading up the boost. And yes, much like that anti lag system. It keeps it boosting. Very simple and easy. But also EXACTLY right on the stress it puts on the turbo. As with most simple and easy things, there are downsides. But, like I said. those that do that sort of thing, either have plenty of cash, or plenty of Back ups! I don't suggest this on any car that need to last.
