wow that was nuts. i would cry if that happened to me. i assume that happened becaues they were boosting 35 lbs on a stock bottom end? i would hope forged parts wouldnt do that....

and it looks to be FWD not AWD as posted on the site...
but ya I dont think it was smart to run 35+ lbs of boost on a stock block, little alone just yank off the gas after the dyno, I bet if it wasn't just dropped after the pull ..it wouldn't have blown...

AWD converted to FWD
We don't have the luxury of an AWD dyno in nebraska :(

who in there right mind would convert a car from awd to fwd. i can see doing a awd to rwd for drifting or something, that is just a shitty trade. awesome video though.

That sucks. I'm hoping the MS will prevent that from happening to mine. Of course, I won't be pushing 35 PSI of boost either.

Agreed even though I'm sure they have a fairly large BOV still not good on the ol' internals

I believe with certain BOV's you can adjust them to how fast/slow they're reaction time is. (some say soft/hard adjustment on top of them)
The one I have is from a evo 8, its not adjustable, but just something to get me started with...

It was only for the dyno pull. They just pull the drive shaft and let it pull in FWD only. Then put it back in for driving. There are some dyno's up here that I would have to pull it. I have to drive about 2 hours to get to Extreme Motorsports's shop and they have an AWD dyno.
