My 5yo daughter just asked me if we could build a burnout car that is also a convertible. At least one person in my house appreciates cars lol :yes:

@Puffwagon hi puff, I need your expert opinion,  so to sort my boost control I put in 19psi of springs into my wastegate and bypassed stock boost control solenoid. It gets 16psi by 2500-2600rpm now and holds sweet as, so it's fixed but I was wondering if I should take the 5psi middle spring out and put in a 7psi spring inside the 14psi outer spring to get 21psi of spring pressure and get roughly 18psi boost instead of 16psi. Is it too much boost  for the rods at low rpm? Will it bend 6 legs and throw them out of bed? Thanks

18psi is already a bit much for a stock engine, although plenty have done it and have ramped it in at 100%.

 

With your specific case, I don't have any vehicle info including; model, km, fuel type, mods, tune, data logs etc. I can give you a definite maybe but there is too much unknown to say yeah or nah.

@Puffwagon 15 fgx, 38k kms, id1050s, kpm 700hp fuel pump, gt3582r, ts 45mm gate, 4inch dump, pw stg2 cooler, turboside intake, atomic h studs, valve springs, HD timing kit, flexplate, oil pump. Ims diff hat. Might leave it as it is at 16psi for reliability and drive it and enjoy it rather than push it to the edge. I'm running stock size 245 bridgestone re003 tires and it spins them up in 2nd gear so more power would be just more dangerous. By the way I took your advice and made 4 driveshaft hoops, 2 for each shaft and I made them in a way that I didn't have to drill any holes through the car. Will post photos of them.
