Damned wheel hop

[Turbo MP3]

On saturday night i was cruising around in my mp3 and at a stop sign i tried launching and got wheel hop, i instantly through in the clutch. Even since then in 1st and 2nd gear i get a weird vibration, and my turbo doesn't produce as much boost at higher rpms as it previously did, or so i think. I really dont know what happened i hope i didnt hurt the compressor or something, but any help in figuring out whats wrong would be appreciated, Thanks

knock any connections loose, as in intercooler piping and such, thats the 1st thing to check.

i investigated that and didnt see anything, but i havent had time to get 'er in the shop to take a closer look...

got to love the wheel hop

its hard to control, but i think i've managed to launch nearly everytime and get no wheel hop, but rather a nice screeching through the entirety of first gear

Check for exhaust leaks too. Break a motor mount maybe?

IF so its a good excuse to upgrade!

Speaking of upgrade...I make poly motor mounts if you're interested...

How much for just the front one?

The guy i bought the car from had one coming but he said the guy he bought it from on ebay said it was on the way... that was 3 or 4 weeks ago, but he said he would find me a mount and install it for me no matter what.

I don't make the front one yet. I make the rear one and the side one. Both very effective. But if I were in your shoes, I would start with the side one. They'll be released next week. PM me if you're interested.
