first thing to do is make sure the engine is running 100 percent on all 6 ,IE STATE OF TUNE,check/inspect clogged fuel filter,air filter ,catalytic convertor ,coil pack ,plugs wires ,sensors,turbo plumbing,exhaust opened up ,defective waste gate.if all is ok do a stall test and see what the maximum attainable rpm the engine will reach in drive with the brake all the way to the floor(car stationary)and the gas pedal all the wat to the rug.if the car pulls through the brakes check rear adjustment and tire condition ,and go for a ride with boost cranked up.still unhappy call the convertor company and explain to them what your situation is and ask for a restall,if its possible.www.ckperformance.com

I never really like my orange stripe either. I'm trying to save up for a 9/11 from good ole Bruce.

They have a web site. I have an orange stripe in my car(out now) It works well w/stk turbo. 1.75 60ft w/1psi launch on DR's(pulled 1.85 w/8psi launch on M&H's w/stk conv) but the lock up clutch gave up after 20k-locked up good but slipped @4psi.
