now first let me say one thing Im not judging at all or criticizing what you have done just curious as I feel in Australia all this hot rodding to the motors the engine life would be shortened to hours on heavy work but thats just me so one thing to bear in mind with any of my comments is I have no experiance with hot rodding Mack motors car motors well I was young once now to your question to me if I was to stand i front of a small fan and blow on it to get it to spin it would take a small puff of air if it was a big fan it would need a bigger puff of air so if you were to start with a small turbo the motor would need to spin at a certain speed to fully spin the turbo so it would only stand to reason that on a bigger turbo it would need even more air to shift at the same speed so the motor would have to even rev harder move the turbo at the same speed and then if you were to add bigger load on the inlet side of the turbo ie a bigger fan then it would need even more revs from the ,motor to spin the turbo as fast as when you only had a small turbo on it so from my ramblings I feel that what has happened is what I would expect to happen and the pump bloke is fairly accurate with what he says as the only way now or more to the point the next step is more fuel to give even a bigger bang at lower rpm's to help spin the turbo quicker or at least thats the way I see it hope some of this makes sense seeya Paul

this is a fair comment my wife and I were looking at buying something a while ago and we new nothing about it and it all sounded to good to be true so we jumped on google searched thru some reviews had never done this before and almost all we found were negitive reviews did find a couple of good ones So it got me to thinking only people with a problem would take the time to right a review so we googled the TV the stove the micro wave the car the computer the and they all had reviews some not so good some had whole heap of positive reviews as well I guess what Im saying is anywhere you go and ask you would get a fairly good cross representation of peoples thoughts by just talking to them just some thoughts Paul

Well as has been said above lucky the rubber stayed on the ground and looks to be no real damage I bet the but was stuck to the seat pretty good as it all unfolded around you Paul
