    he said, is this shit legal?
    makes it all worth it, even the 16 hours installing exhaust mani
    Lol,

    Next time mani goes on with head off

    I'd be surprised if the car wouldn't pull on my bikes at around 14 psi

    So I just took my friend for drive. His fast car is a cobra.

    He said that I shouldn't go over 7 psi and that if he raced me he would see a green line flying past him as is.

    Couldn't get over how the car felt

    If it only chirps 3rd gear, instead of spinning the instant boost comes in, you're not running enough boost

    20psi and trouble shooting in the same sentence.

    Wonder if there's any correlation there?

    Lol

    30 psi doesn't sound like a good idea

    I guess with a super programmer anything is possible.


    But assuming e85, your running stock hg or thickness.

    In which, you woudlnt catch me anything over 10 psi max, regardless of how good of a tuner you have.

    Yup. My turbo is merely farting below 20psi anyway...
