I'm just sayn. I ran a new Evo from a dig back in December.
Evo said he was at 315 whp.

He jumped out on me like 3-4 cars but I realed him in by mid 4th gear.

Just sayn.

Is that your numbers on your sig? He probably let off when he saw he blew you. Cause with those numbers on your sig there is no way in he'll you will reel in a evo that jumped on you that many cars from a dig. Not to offend you or anything. And
Blitz since your 35r is ball bearing your good bro. It's not the turbo hurting you. It's probably traction cause remember the sit won't spin like you unless he's making well over 400.

Lol.
No those numbers in my sig were meant to be a joke.
I have the Ptuning kit.
At that point I was at 303whp/286 wqt
no he didn't let off we both knew what was going to happen at the beginning so we went to aboub 100 mph

When I raced the modded WRX from a Dig, it was on the street and I was running my factory scion tires...lol. Of course he got the jump, but I reeled him in by 3rd gear.

Going from a roll, I destroyed him of course, which is what prompted him to ask for a race from a dig.

well i figured out why i lost, my car wont boost past 7psi. Now im convinced theres a problem. when i raced the sti i was only hitting 15-16psi but my tuner claimed i was still @ 20-21 my gauge was just reading wrong. The butt dyno can definetly tell the difference. I feel like i have my s/c er again. (that i thought was soo fast :p

i cant get that figuerd out yet because starting yesterday my car will not go into any gear. I really hope its not a tranny problem

still shouldn't take 15llbs of boost to beat an STI with only 300whp. Your tC should be rippin the tread off the tires on into 4th gear. Find a new tuner.

Bro try adjusting the clutch pedal. I know when I got my act clutch put on it wouldn't go into gear either until I had to adjust it. Act engages really quick if you have the engagement like stock it will not go into gear.

UPDATE: the stock clutch and flywheel are back in and tranny problem is fixed. They did a boost leak check, checked the turbo and both were fine. I have a high flow cat on the bottom of my dp and they believe its melted and thats causing the restriction.They will be knocking it out tonight so Lets see if it fixes the issue

Sounds like someone doesn't know what they are doing for the clutch install. The pedal (engagement point) should always be adjusted after a new clutch install. Put that ACT, break her in and go hog wild.

Lol_Thats what_I_said._What_a_coincidance_he_put_back_the_stock_clutch_which_is_in_stock_engagement_and_now_goes_into_gear_lol._If_you_would_have_adjusted_it_I_bet_my_life_it_woud_have_worked._I_know_case_I_have_the_act_clutch_ad_engagement_is_instant_lol.
Blitz whoever installed your clutch for you make sure you never go back to them._Cause if they do not know how to adjust a pedal well damn they shouldn't do the job
