Boondocker M8 race gas turbo. HO reed cage, single stack m/zr reeds, OVS stops. 1000 ft. 6 pounds of boost, 60 miles. Here are the results. I noticed no running issues with the sled prior to tonights removal.
Additional info: prior to this season, there were double stacked reeds, and stock stops in the sled. HO reeds on the inside, zr/M on the outside. They looked great when I removed them and went to the single zr/M reeds. I reinstalled those existing zr/M series reeds single stacked, as they looked perfect.
In the 60 miles in which the reeds failed, I experienced no DET codes, but did run the sled lean for maybe 4-5 2 second full throttle blasts with my EBC lines unknowingly iced up, and the boondocker box saw no boost adding no fuel. The motor did not sustain any damage that I can see, and I did resolve the EBC issue, and ride the sled for another 30 trouble free miles.
