Sounds about right--13.7-14.0 range.

If I remember correctly, it was the first car (modified 240sx?) to run this hot-side/cold-side combo that was called the Disco Potato due to it's paintjob that I believe was a mix of brown and Mystic. The turbo setup worked so well that other people wanted the same thing and it was easier just to refer to the turbo as the Disco Potato.

But it's been a long time since I was familiar with the potato's origins, so I could be (and likely am) wrong on some points.

That'll do me for a guess as well. Some testing of the clutch on this exercise too

So everyone should be dividing their ET estimates in half. Nice.

Very impressive... cant wait to see what 6psi looks like. Awesome tq btw... FLAT curve! I imagine it's a hoot to drive. I was expecting to see something else in the drive ability video... like... I have this problem.... 5k rpm... punch it... sideways... lol

PS... for everyone out there saying "only 50whp" on 4psi... do so math... 50hp in a 2700lb car is night and day!
