    Im still shaking....i had made a NICE skidplate today, and i guess i seemed to mess up my wastegate because it wasent working. maby i pinched the tube..
    On a run in 3rd gear, WOT, the car made about 18-20lbs of boost and i almost **** my pants...i had it set a 5lbs.......3rd gear at about 45mph felt like a launch in 1st...i was going 100+ in a split second! it pinned me to the seat! anyhow, the car seems to be fine, still runs ok, no coolant smell...so i think its intact, the clutch had to be slipping a bit......so that helped on the traction issues i bet, it also blew my intake pipe right out of my throttle body but omg that was friggin insane.....just thought i would share lol.

    when the intake tube poped out, the car died. i was thinking..."damn i must have broke something wow i gotta throw that 351 in allready?" lol
