This question is directed to clownmeat and Ace. How did you guys disable the atrac? An ABS switch? Locking the center diff? I am not looking to do burn outs but I do belive that the engine cutting out under boosted power could potentialy be very bad. I have been trolling both your threads from the get go. I am planning and buying parts to do a combo of both of what Yall have done.

Clown you should put a condom of some sort over your air chuck on your frame. I had mine in a similar spot before I tore my on board air set up off and it would always be jammed up with rocks, dirt, etc. Just an idea.
For your filter cansister, did you look what Cummins had to offer? My dad has a nice Cummins filter housing on his Razor 800.

It has been almost a year but I finally had something on the turbo system fail. Went out wheeling last weekend and started to smell burning oil, got out and looked under the truck to see oil dripping from the turbo area. Turned around and got it home in time without the oil light coming on. By the time I got home it wasn't dripping but spraying oil. After towing it to work and looking at it I found the solid steel oil feed line from the engine to the turbo finally cracked from shaking around. We talked about putting in a couple feet of braided flex before the turbo but I totally forgot about it and never got around to doing it. So I re-flared it for now, added 3 quarts of oil and ordered a flex turbo feed hose. Could have been a lot worse I guess, I shouldn't have overlooked one of the most important components of the system.

Turboing the 5vz is more practical then ever.
You will need fuel mods as well.
