ViciousV6 Back from the Track (Boost Issue) Video's

Well Guys,

We made many passes! We couldn't turn the boost over 17Lbs or it would push the crossover pipe apart and then get a pressure loss. We are going with a clamping ideal to resolve this issue.

Our best of the Day was 11.35 @ 120 MPH on 15.5-16.0 lbs of boost. The 60' was only a 1.75 too. Which i have gone better. The boost comes up quickly and was giving us wheel hop.

We also had a Twin Turbo Vette with 130,000 niles ion the motor go 9.90's on 3 passes.

I will get the videos uploaded as quickly as possible.

V-banded @ the bottom of turbo header but he slip jointed it under the damper. So I band clamped it and its still pushing out of the band clamp.

So either gonna V-band the joint so it doesn't leak anymore or gonna get the clamps that you weld the tab on one side and it bolts to keep it joined.

Once i try to push over 16lbs of boost it starts to loose press and turbo slows down and loose boost.

I like the weld 2 dots on the joint idea. Then you just die grind them off if they need come apart again.
