Re: How often do you BOOST? (NHB Fighter)
Just wondering since I can't seem to resist the temptation everytime I take my car out.

Re: How often do you BOOST? (NHB Fighter)

I boost every morning once the car is fully warmed up to get all the residue(dust, etc..) out of the BOV. I used to do it on the way to lunch too, but its been so hot lately I keep it under 3500rpm.

Re: How often do you BOOST? (maxim)
Why do ya keep it under 3500 since it is hot? Have you not upgraded your cooling system?
I boost every time I drive a little bit at least. I have only had the turbo on for two weeks, I am not used to it yet!

I"m pretty sure when I get my kit installed and tuned I'll be boostin' every time I'm in my car and touch the gas pedal Or at least until I start breaking stuff or getting pulled over!

Ha! With the type-R tranny on my GSR I end up cruising at like 4500 RPM in 5th all the way to work and back (220 miles) each day! At that RPM, any throttle action = boost.

Yeah, its approaching 90 deg. here in Houston and it seems pretty insane for me to be boosting all over town, so I keep it under 3500rpm in mild traffic.
Upgrade my cooling system? Huh?

Re: How often do you BOOST? (maxim)
I didnt' boost at all this morning on my way to work...
I try to get all the carbon deposits out once a week..... that means a nice first, second, and third gear pull to redline....
just keeping down the carbon... LOL

Re: How often do you BOOST? (NHB Fighter)
on average I do about 2-3 full throttle runs per day.. other then that, sometimes i hit 3-4psi half throttle just to catch up in traffic or sumthin..
