Has Thunderhill done anything about the runoff area between the backstraight/turn14 and the 7/8 complex? IIRC there was a driver killed last year when a car continued straight off the backstraight and t-boned him as he was traversing 7/8.

They really need to put in a wall there.

I found out that the problem was the BOV. The gasket totally failed where it connected to the intercooler. In the end I bought a stock BOV and gasket but that still didn't work, however a little bit of liquid gasket seems to have fixed that problem. The bigger issue I had was when I was looking for possible problems. I thought the inlet pipe was loose so I tightned it, but the hose clamp was to far away from the turbo and ended up cutting the inlet tube.

ok, that would actually help a lot in a similar situation. I still think they need a wall, but it's a step in the right direction.
