The turbo gave up. Is that normal at 75 k miles?

Turbo warm up, cool down and proper heat cycles help longevity. But my hx35 gave up the ghost st 90k miles. So yea, it's not uncommon, especially under extreme conditions.

Turbo, injectors and the stock trans/clutch are the only real issues with em. Keep an eye on those and upgrade when they die and you'll be worry free for a very long time.

Ps love this build, y'all are nuts up there

Tire inflation system

Just want to show you how the tire inflation system works.

There is a faucet on the rim hooked up to a revolving knee in the center of the rim.

10 mm plastic air lines connect the knee to a coupling on the fender. The couplings are very handy. They let go of the air line if it gets snagged. Then it simply pops out. The system sounds an alarm. You stop and pop it in again. No biggy.

A control box allows you to monitor pressure and adjust it on the move through a bluetooth app.

Screenshot of the app.

Air supplied by a big pump.
