Default x -post: 00 Stage 3 car leaking exhaust into cabin, rough idle, and seems like some sort of timing
retard maybe only a few degrees, but something is up. Comparably another 00 stage 3 with same amount/quality of gas with FMIC ran much smoother, and faster. We ran side by side down the road with pulls from 3rd gear @ 60 mph to 80-90mph, then switched cars back and forth. Even the addition of another passenger had little to no noticable effect in the other car being able to pull much harder and smoother. Any ideas where to even start on this one?

Default Exhaust in cabin with stage 3 is likely a blown turbo-manifold gasket.
Does your car sound like a school bus these days?
