Does it sound this good? Volvo 850R M56H Toasted:

I tried running AMSOIL transmission fluid twice, and both times the sychros wore incredibly quickly, when I took the transmissions apart they were noticeably more "dirty" looking inside, one the sychro snapped in half and ended up breaking some bearings too, and the other deflected out of gear when I was trying to slam it into gear and broke the shifting mechanism inside the transmission. Both had 2nd gear popouts, one after only having the transmission in for a few days. I've been running GM Sychromesh Friction Modified, and it seems to have been working well, transmissions look brand new inside when I take them apart, but I've broken a few diffs at the track and wonder if the fluid has anything to do with it. My car seems to wheelhop a lot though, so that's probably the issue. So I need to figure out what the cause is, because my automatic car with the same exact tires doesn't wheelhop at all.

Nice, looking good.

I understand that, but figured maybe I had something similar already but I don't recall mine looking anything like that. Ill do a little research on it. I'm thinking of just going with a Precision 5858.

Where do you get said XTR Wheel, and does it work with the regular 20G housing? I kinda wanna go with a 25G and if they make an XTR Version that'd be nice. My 20G is already billet though, so idk how this wheel compares.

Which Turbo is this?

Nice, looks to be coming along well. Gonna be done way before mine.

It's never ending :(

Ill look when I get home from work

Haven't even looked at mine hmm, hopefully they aren't f'd

Damn, same thing that happened to my car except my line came off the wastegate. Good to see you're getting it back together so quickly. I'm just having my motor fully assembled at a shop to avoid any errors on my part though.

Lol, mine's going slower than a turtle right now lmao. I know ill get around to it someday though.

Yeee, nice. Wanna do my engine for me? lol

Good to gear that boost is controllable now.

Where'd you get the sputter bearings?

That's the same turbine housing I have, and I was getting up to 26psi on wastegate. Ill look into getting that RB20 housing though, looks nice.

No way to just convert the oil cap into a vent? I was thinking of trying to fabricate something, but never got around to it.

I want valve cover vents, do they have a type of baffling to keep as much oil out as possible?

Yeee, nice, I want to make a motor, you know an engine builder/machine shop familiar with this platform?

iirc I'm running bkr6eix Iridium plugs at ~.025 gap. I haven't gotten any misfires since gapping them down, but at higher gaps I was misfiring on my old turbo setup. Surprisingly no misses all the way up to 32psi.
