Actually best thing you can do is stick your charge pipes (if they fit) in the dishwasher with no soap. It will clean out any bits of metal or anything in there.

its called brake boosting.
And works very well right before you get into a roll-on race.

dude mr. turbo cavalier guy, how do you build boost with the end of your pipe not connected to anything, it's like a big huge air leak.

I just had to add something in case someone else looks up this thread.

Accelerating while the car is lifted in the area, and causing the wheels to turn is extremely harsh on the Constant Velocity (CV) joints as well as other suspension parts.

I can't explain why, my suspension book really doesn't dig much further into it.

They suggest doing this to test out wheel bearings, but to do it extremely slowly because of how devestating it can be on the suspension.

So for future reference, don't do this

I figured it had something to do with the fact that there was no weight on the suspension, and the car is designed to run with weight on it. But I wasn't sure "exactly" because frankly, my teacher did a ------- terrible job explaining the CV joints to us
