Default Thinking of going back to N/A

My car it's having problems again. 2 days ago I noticed a strange feeling and yesterday my clutch just die once again. I love my turbo Tc but I'm tired of all the vibration and the problems that keep coming again and again like the clutch and different strange sounds that appears every day with the vibrations. I'm fustrated and I thougth maybe you guys could help me decide what to do. For now I will be offering my turbo parts so if anyone it's interested let me know.

No. I was using ACT 4 puck solid this time. Last time was a CM stage 4 and didn't hold the power. I could go with the DD but I will still have the rest of my problems which I'm tired of and I'm thinking on resolve them with $5.10



$5.00 of gas and 10 cents for the matches.

Well, you obviously under clutched the car for the horsepower you were planning. Honestly, if you plan on making that kind of power, you should be expeciting to pay $1000-1500 for a clutch. The Subaru and Evo guys with GT35Rs are using some very expensive clutches to hold the power. If your not willing to go through the problems that come with a build like that, just torch the f..ker

It's a sad day.

Yes when you have this much HP, the car is no longer meant for creature comforts.

Keep it as a weekend race car and tear people up. Gut the car.

ACT site says that it's suppose to hold 499ft/lbs so I didn't under clutched the car. In my opinion 500whp isn't that much and the car should still be comfortable and quiet. but maybe I'm asking to much for a Scion.

Very true. I used to have a 400whp WRX and I can tell you, the things eat clutches and trannies. I hated driving that thing everyday and that's why I now have the TC. It used to bog real easy cause of the AWD and it was really hard to drive fast. It didn't have many squeaks, but the engine was super loud and sounded like a Harley.

just get a company to make a custom stage clutch just for you!

i say lower your boost, and make it around mid to high 300s you have already proven what's it capable anyweiz, and you should be good with stage 4, 6 puck non sprung.. but where else are you having noises aside from the clutch?

Yea, the vibration might go away with lower WHP. I was just thinking of this.

Took some time off due to a personal problem. Let me fix my signature. I am going for 350WHP stock block with AEM Water/Alcohol Injection. Just gotta raise the boost, not sure if it's safe tho.
