He did not see smoke and there were no signs of any issues when his car caught fire. he didnt lose the car since he was notifed immediately and drove off the track and put the fire out. He had damage but nothing a new bumper and paint did not fix. He was personally disillusioned with that twin turbo set up and sold the car. He then got that money and bought a built ls7 z06 car and makes his power naturally. fyi..

Yeah, we don't need no stinking turbo's.

This thing barely makes any torque runs low 11's go 10's with stickies.
