And when my clutch doesnt spin, my tires do! I have no rattles, no leaks, no smoking out exhaust. Partial throttle acceleration is wild. Other than a few fitment hassles with the td04 center section (which is to be expected) i have nothing bad to say about my daw turbos, yet. However, my car is yelling at me for more supporting mods equaling $5k+ spent. These cars aint cheap. Need twin disc clutch, BPM4 ekp upgrade, Stage 3 lpfp, and better rear tires to even be able to utilize the power the car produces on the base tune. It likely will all have to wait until next year though. The 30 degree whether here is not helping my traction issues either. My tuner David Shoup says "we are off to a good start."
He also said he has seen two of his customers' sets of stage 2+ daw turbos fail already. Dont know why. Currently my opinion is it seems to be hit or miss with these turbos. Seems i got the hit
