As I finally get my 240 out and running after finally putting in a spec stage 3 clutch and a new d-way diff. so I wanted to test out the car. Driving it around I had gunned it a few times and loved it. The car has never felt so good.

As I pull into school I see one of my friends and he asked me to take him around the block a few time to see how the car is running. He hopped in, I gunned it, and then POP

I hear a loud exhaust leak… I think to myself “awww fuck, my down pipe is loose” so then im like no big deal. But as I was driving back to school I noticed I wasn’t getting no boost…. NO BOOST so I open my hood and I noticed this…..

The waste gate fell off the manifold.. Well not really THE MANIFOLD BROKET OFF WHERE THE WASTEGATE CONECTS


Now don’t get me wrong…. It was an eBay manifold and I did only pay like 100 bucks for it but im just frustrated but I guess I deserved it for being a cheap ass

But as I was driving my wrangler I saw this parked on the side of the road somewhere by whitestone. and I got a few laughs out of it cheered me up a little lol
