...My car is too slow!
Just thought I'd post a thread to keep me from reading "my car's too fast" anymore! 
Hope Seabass makes it to DE or Auto-X soon! Road Atlanta next week; I can't wait!!! Assuming my car is happy...

Sorry to hijack the thread...
Rick just got your email about the connectors. I've sent you an email response. I think your connections may be wrong.

My car really is too slow. Im atleast 5 seconds off my usual auto-x times (averaging against the people i always run with) in the 951 compared to my old n/a. No traction and only enough space to hit boost for a second. Its such a tease.
I need to start learning to work on left foot braking...and going to some more road courses

295rwhp is indeed low for all the mods you have.

Me too! The buddy who got me hooked on this stuff has a real bad case of "my car's too slow" and he put a Vett motor inplace of the turbo! I still like the 4-banger though... found something today; took off the MAF and cleaned up a bit and noticed how HUGE the intake of the Garrett 28/76 is...the piping to the MAF seems like it is way too small for the turbo inlet; is this robbing me of power? Went to LR site and looked at their inlet pipe and it is a lot bigger than mine on the inlet side, growing from the 3 1/2" filter end to much larger at the Turbo inlet?? Did I just dicover some HP here?? Interesting. BTW, if I could get mine off the f!@$#!@# jack stands it would be much faster than it is now...

Lart, see my post of a moment ago; I think you may be right! Also, I dyno'd it at 1.1 bar, which is what I run on the track for reliability. Not sure where it would go if I turned up the volume. Also, the MAF system is old, I need a new one... college tuition has prevented the upgrade. I'll dig up the charts and post them here when I have time...then I'd love your opinion... at least I can dream of more power!!!

After Road Atlanta this weekend I'm going to take the intake apart and I'll take some pics for the board to review. Wonder if the SFR or the LR is the way to go... Will take some measurements and post next week... never realized how convoluted the intake piping was...
