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.

Same issue here - wheel hop is a nightmare in 1st,2nd, and occasionally in 3rd. The rear suspension is the key - go as stiff as your kindeys will handle ( or get adjustable's to switch between daily and track use ). The stock suspension cant hadle the extra torque from the turbo - I'm just waiting until spring to get a new set of adjustable rears.
Under heavy exceleration, the rear end will over compress which basically shifts the weight / momentum back and helps to lift the front end. By stiffening the rear and limiting the amount the rear compresses, you force the front to stay planted. -------------------- Scott
