Whew! That is a really strange thing to have happen...WHen I was racing 930 Turbo Porsche GT1, I caught my #1 competitor with his head under the rear hood of my car with a wratchet wrench in his hand as we were prepping the car for a race qualifier!!!!!!!!!!! No Kidding. My pit crew and I ran through the engine as best we could, and couldn't find anything amiss. When my turn came for my 3 laps, she started fine, ran fine, until I hit the boost adjust and turned the wick all the way up to get my 500 ponies pulling that 2000 pound monster down the main straight. The thing went bwAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAggggggggghhhhhhhh !!!! and almost died. When I let off the gas, she came back to life and I ran fine again, until I cranked up the boost to 15 psi again on the next lap. Same prob, only this time she died down the front straight, and I coasted her off to the grass after turn 1. I popped the rear hood, and found the intercooler had come off of its stack! I pushed it back down over the O ring seals, jammed a fire extinguisher into engine compartment to hold the plumbing together and finished my 2nd and 3rd lap with no further problems. But the problem forced me to not be able to use the boost control and I started out dead last in the race, and came in 2nd to last overall. But that other idiot never even made it to the green flag! He had made a mistake with building his engine and it tore up his oil pump, ruining his $30,000 engine. What goes around comes around. Ooops, I think I just hijacked this very important thread. Sorry friends. I digress.
great!!!
