Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
I'm interested in bombing my '01 6spd, and since I live in the Portland, OR area, I talked to Rip Rook. I'm looking at an Edge Comp, DDIIs, 4" exhaust, HX40 turbo, AFE intake, guages, pump, clutch, etc... .
Rip was kind enough to take me for a ride in his similarly equipped truck, although his has an automatic. After proper warm up, he had a couple of occasions to "punch it" for about 100yds. This thing was FAST... and we approached slower traffic in a hurry, so Rip had to completely back-off the throttle, causing a "huffing" in the turbo. As I understand it, this huffing is caused by the excess pressure that has built up in the intake side of the turbo trying to drive the impellers backwards due to the sudden lack of exhaust pressure to keep them spinning. I've heard that this "huffing" can cause turbo shafts to break in lesser quality units. I also understand that this is why there is a wastegate.
Anyway, with a 6 spd, I'm really concerned that if I'm "driving aggressively", or drag racing, that I'll get this huffing with each shift. Not good, in my opinion. Would any of you folks with HX40s and manual transmissions please post your experiences/comments?
