Mine did that once. I unplugged the fan and blew the connection out. Put electrical grease in and it stopped. Idk why it ever started though.

As everyone say, this thing spools stupid fast, will break the tires loose in extreme street like nothing. Didn't play with it to much because I'm having fan issues. I have a "fan speed sensor" code coming up and my fan is on all the time. Anyone run into anything similar?

You didnt waiste any time buddy!!!

Update boys and girls.

So the night I put the turbo on I pinched the drain oring on the HP charger, leaked oil like crazy. I thought I noticed blue smoke hazing out the pipe, but it was dark and I was on back roads so I didn't think much of it. Didn't run it all the next week, had no time to tear it apart until that next weekend.

When I took the "U" pipe off this is what I found...

Yes that is oil puddled up in the bottom of the "u" pipe.
So obviously I was very unhappy, all the parties that were involved in the resale of this charger said that they would help me out with however they could.

But my hat is off to Elite at the moment, just so everyone knows I'm the 3rd owner of this elite 72mm, and they took it back on warranty with almost no questions asked. So I'd like to take the time to say thank you to Nathanial, Levi, and Tadd for showing me some light at the end of the tunnel.

Pretty awesome on Elite's part. Most companies only offer warranty to the original buyer.

Glad to hear Kelly you have had one hell of a run with no more than you've done. Hopefully this is the start of good things to come.
