You ever mess with friends/strangers with your wastegate or BOV??Just yesterday my friend was on the phone driving, So I dropped it into 3rd and brake boosted, the open wastegate ended his call Also I like to go through downtown(buildings both sides) and hear my BOV, draws lots of attention....

Usually done in 3rd gear. What ever your turbo is at full spool at.... You give the car throttle and brake so boost build up but your car doesn't accelerate. So when you do the 3 horn honk your already at power and don't have any lag... kills your brakes though... but not too bad....

jeez how bad does it cook your brakes? i always had problems with freeway runs...dropping it into 3rd feels awfully painful on the car, especially now that i have lower gearing....

You never want videos from WD. If WD post a link unplug your computer immediately....Car is on jackstands right now. Just put some struts and springs on her. Going to fender roll tomorrow and install my j30 dff I'll have vids hopefully Monday on my way to Daytona
