ok....for thoseof you with the star turbo---does yours make the high pitched whine the whole time the turbo is going??? orrr does it only whine right when the turbo spools then change to more of a wooshing air sound? because thats what mine does, i don't know if thats how its supossed to be...all the other turbo's ive driven have whined the whole time...

Well, on mine, I can only hear the high pitch whistle right when it spools up and then it turns into an all out roar inside my car haha! People have told me that when I'm going down the track, they can hear my turbo whistling all the way down. My only guess as to why you could hear it on all the other cars is because they have had internal wastegates and the star kit has an external.

why does the JB weld smell like dog shit? literally

It smells like dog shit because of the high content of Potassium Nitrate. This is what makes the JB Weld hold so good, but it is also found in dog shit. The nitrogen is what gives it it's smell.








That was the biggest load of bullshit to ever come out of my mouth (err hands).
