the weld on my greddy manifold cracked.... i figured it was probably small... NOPE the entire thing cracked. so basically not all of my exhaust gas was going to the turbo. kahren helped me take it out and reinstall it and he rewelded it. all is good now. the only i want to do right away is get the aquamist water injection. i need more boost!

Cause you dont wanna crack that manifold again, you wanna blow it to pieces.

blow the floors off! maybe thats why your power went from 459 to 380, maybe you need a bigger turbo.

i am probably around 380 rwhp. actually the car didn't feel right when i got on it messing around on the highway. i richened it up about 15% in the top end. my tuning could have been messed up becuase it was running richer with the crack. who knows. i need to retune the entire map once i get the water injection. its no big deal. you win some you lose some
