The great thing about the setup is the reliability.
Adding some special (and super expensive) lock washers for the turbo to the manifold and manifold to the head did help a lot.
Ha! Corvette= point and shoot - that was like the most classic case of this.
I figured that thing would eat any time the road got straight- but you hung well with big corner speed... But there is always that long straight... Tough to beat one of those things.

The car has a front mount intercooler and the diff is a 3.91 rebuilt, polished gears and variable ramp (this is a big part of what makes the car amazing)
30-80 variable ramp: the locking of the differential varies depending on the torque applied to it.
So if you are entering the corner and exiting it, the lock on the diff is different.
This allows you to be extremely fast in corners, very important when you drive a heavy car.
The differential is also cooled, the 1/2 shaft is running a mechanical pump and an oil cooler is strapped under the chassis. Also very important as I have seen diff oil temp beyond 350F.
