WE HAVE BOOST ! .. and a broken CV joint

Add another turbo to the Boxer AutoGruppe

At about 730 pm last night, the boost gauge read positive pressure and I had a huge smile on my face. I took the bug for a spin on the back roads and it is LOUD !. I have the boost controller in MS set for 10 PSI.

I don't have the DP flange back from Lanner yet, hopefully this weekend.

The engine is running rich at boost according to the LC-1 which is held close to the turbo with mechanics wire

I was coming down the road and down shifted from 2nd to 1st to make a u-turn and mashed the pedal and dropped the clutch .... broke the drivers side CV joint I had enough momentum to coast close to home and pushed the car the rest of the way. The logging software said 7 psi :agree:

Fortunately, I have a spare CV ... time to upgrade to bus CV's and 944 axles.

Now I just need an appraisal and insurance.

See you at the June meet.
