I rode in it when it was at 16 and we hit 130 in about 10 seconds.

Ditto. That was FUN.

my 3" exhaust it was so free-flowing that my wastegate could not flow enough air around the turbo to keep the boost level down

That throws me...how can that happen?

The turbo flows so freely that it is easier for all that pressure to push the turbo, rather than go through the wastegate. It chooses the easiest path, and a big fast spinning wheel would take the air easier than a small wastegate.

I thought I was going to be sucked through the backseat. Add to the fact that I was pretty goddamn drunk, and it was ONE HELL OF A RIDE.

how does the wase gate sound venting to the atmostphere?

Kind of like having no exhaust, a very loud sound. It's cool for a while but gets real old - quick.

So.... 0-200 km/h in 10 seconds.....
.....wow.

I'd guesstimate Matts car is good for a low 11 second run on the 1/4 mile, at about 120 mph. On a real drag strip - grip starts to become a real issue with the kind of power he makes. It would be real fun to go for a ride in his car ;)
Matt: What do you think you would make on a real drag strip?

I've rode in some 10 second cars, it's very addictive.

Way too much of an exaggeration Ken. Todd's car with roughly the same HP only does 0-100 in 12.5sec
