"Ummmmmm.. open downpipe is really loud 
" "whats that smell?. that smells like fuel" looks behind and sees a puddle of fuel in the road.. "****" ----- that wasnt my turbo install but another board members..
I didnt realize how fast my car was till I raced a TA on the highway and kept up with him.. talked to him afterward and found out he ran a 12.5 @ 111.
, that was my first time on 8lbs..

Re: Please post first driving impression after installing turbo! (JohnysZC)
I was VERY happy... Spooling sound was AMAZING, and the tirespin was NUTZ.
Then it burned a piston after about 2 HOURS of driving...
The car sat around for a year while I built it up... but now it's a BLAST <when I can keep a fuggin clutch in it>

You know when you are going down the runway taking off in a big passenger jet? How the whine of the turbines gets really loud and all of a sudden you just get sucked into your seat and the nose starts to come up? That what it feels like to me, sort of. There's nothing like that surge of torque when it spools.
