its actually typically number 4 not three and there are countless reason as to why that happens.

To answer your question yes we have seen a few cars come in with this problem.

I am interested in the intake manifold you guys have mentioned before too. It would be nice to get rid of the tgv's and have a better designed too.

You guys make it harder and harder to keep my plan to run a high to mid 12sec pass on my stock turbo.

I pictured a smaller turbo like a blouch dom or FP green. That thing is NUTTS! I would have to build a short block to handle that kind of power.

Maybe if you plan on pushing it on Race gas but on pump gas the 30R will be fine.
