Hi Guys!

Here is a video of me testing the 75hp shot of nitrous to wake up the turbo on transbreak inside the shop.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5I2lDPqe8g

After that, on Sunday, at the race track, a Backfire broke all the intake manifold when I was doing the first burnout... the burst panels could not hold the explosion...
here is a picture:

I uploading the video of the burn out/explosion, and when I get it ready I´ll send it here.

Talk to you later, guys!!
