the wheels are probably tack-welded on and the wastegate routes the gasses back toward the turbo

that's how it spools at 1500 and doesn't make peak torque til 5k

duhh

Can't we just let the whine-n-cheesers have their circlejerk? If they want to learn the hard way, let them learn the hard way.

I've never really appreciated that this guy took the TDR name and made it his own. It took quite a while for me to realize that it wasn't Trackdog racing that was making this stuff.

Of all the names in the world he could have possibly chosen, why take one that's identical to a well known reputable Miata vendor?

The first line is at 3500 rpm and each is 500 from there.

That's also a pretty shitty torque drop. Lose 100ftlbs from 5000-7000rpms? I'd expect that **** out of an old single cam 8v motor, not a friggin' MZR.

Exactly my point. Rather "convenient" that the dyno run was removed/not shown.

Dann, I was pulling for you on your thread but you haven't really given me a leg to stand on. If you want to regain some general credibility around here, the place I'd say to look for it would be atop some large metal rollers. But you didn't need me to tell you for you to know that.

seems legit yet it's fishy at the same time. Why be shady if your not hiding anything?

because its hard to claim spool at 1500 when you don't hit peak til 5k

unless by spool they mean spin, in which case it "spools" at idle
