Cool, I did not hear the knocking while he was pulling but you can def. hear something going on when he engages the clutch and pulls off from the sled. JJ

You could hear it knocking at the end when it was pulling down. It didn't appear the turbo helped it any. Sounded like a normal A. With the tires he had and the type of track it shouldn't have required a lot of power and he didn't have a lot to give, it appears. Mike

I agree with you Mike it didn't sound very strong. Back in 1975 a friend of mine put a turbo on a 70 diesel, it did help it a bit...

hes not going to build enough exhaust pressure to spool up the turbo with the straight pipe hes running. something didnt sound to good when he pulled away
