Aaron is right. DSMs are not really the problem. Its 10 year old cars that are turbod. Most DSMs that blow up are because people want to crank the boost to the sky. Its easy to do. Pull the vacuum line off the wastegate. I have heard not only of people doing this but people have told me to do it! Empty headed morons.
I have been driving my car daily for over 2 years. It has HUNDREDS of drag passes on it.
Issues?
water neck leaked about 2 weeks after I bought it.
I shifted it from the top of 3rd to 2nd... flywheel loosened. Motor still running after Not only one but TWO trips to 9000 rpm.
Broke driveshaft launching like a mad man on the track... I have launched that was 300 other times with no problems.
So I broke it twice and it had a leak once that was fixed in 10 minutes for a dollar.
What Im tryin to say is.. BUY ONE Denise because I know your not an empty headed moron.
