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

 

The guys on M.net are just eating this **** up.

[Turbocharging] Pigtails "The Monster" Ready for Delivery 414hp 430lb/ft Torque - MX-5 Miata Forum

 

Anyone surprised?

 

So who is going to rain on the Mnet parade?
Im banned, otherwise I'd volunteer to drop the turd.

 

btw this is on E85

 

Looks like Concealer started the party.

 

I didnt think it was possible to be any less impressed than I already was.

 

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?

 

im too busy hating on win8 to care about this. i mean, cool it made a lot of power.

why be shady about it?

 

what a fail... "does a dyno video... doesnt actually record the car on the dyno"

 

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

 

The new graph they posted.

 

Ah! ok, cool.

Im curious why they didnt show footage of the car RUNNING on the dyno... i mean, im not completely skeptical, but why WOULDNT you show the footage? lol

 

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.

 

^Probably shitty boost control.

 

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
