I would get the setup together and see if you can get car to boost by regular means on the transbrake. If you are running good gas local guys say a lot of timing advance on the T-brake helps alot.
Kind of counter-intuitive, but more timing = more torque to turn the convertor.
If you can't get it to spool and you really don't want to get a new convertor i'd probably stick with the nitrous method. Just play with the nozzles and use the smallest shot possible that gives you reasonable staging times.

if it wont spool on the brake some guys us co2 to hold the wastegate or bov on the charge pipe open to free spin the turboKfred wrote:I would get the setup together and see if you can get car to boost by regular means on the transbrake.

I know this, but I can't see it being super effective or fast. I understand you get the turbo freespinning fast and shut the valve quickly causing a boost spike that will hopefully produce enough torque to get the convertor spinning high enough to allow you to build your desired boost level. I've heard mixed reviews and it seems like nitrous would be more effective.TinyT wrote:if it wont spool on the brake some guys us co2 to hold the wastegate or bov on the charge pipe open to free spin the turbo
Definitely going to be a sick build, keep us informed.
