Heh.. What can I do to ease up on the wheel hop? In 2nd gear if I go WOT .. boost at 12-14psi the front tires just ****in leap off the ground... happens as soon as I hit 12-14psi.. if I don't go WOT it ain't an issue..
Btw.. this happens at like 40-50mph  I'm using an E153 w/ an MR2 VLSD and I'm on BFG G-force Sport performance summer tires.. (225's) -------------------- 87 4runner DLX 22re, 5spd, 4.30gr, 4" lift, 30" tires, HID w/ Projectors, 6spkr + sub, custom exhaust, 94 celica leather seats, SR5 gauge cluster and clinometer. Future engine swap... possibly a 2jzge.

im willing to bet that the 16s are giving you some extra spin/hop too. look into some 17s if you want an upgrade at some point. i would imagine that 15-16s would spin like crazy on my car.
and like itchy said, you kind of have to feather the gas in those gears to keep good traction. i normally do like 50-75% throttle in 1st, and wot in 2nd. the faster you get the car going before hitting WOT, the more traction youll have. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
