Default Id like to get this off my chest everyone.....

As of last night, i am successfully boosted. yes i know it took a while, but when you only have a weekend here and there, theres nothing you can do! i was running a bit high, around 11psi.....so i was affraid to REALLY get on it, but it felt AWESOME....when i tune it down to 6-7psi, ill make some redline shifts.....is it normal to break my tires loose? lol!

but anyways i just wanted to let you guys know how appreciative i am of all your help, and anwsering my questions and the long nights on AIM. id especially like to thank my father for helping me with my install.

also id like to think Arturbo, dbman96, dustin, and Ben for all their help. you guys dont know how much you have helped. it COULD NOT have been done with out you.

I hope i can help the next group as much as you have helped me, once again, a big thanks to EVERYONE who helped me!

I'd be careful, you're living on borrowed time pushing 11psi with an fmu and stock injectors if that's what you have

thanks guys, it feels really great, to know that i did it myself, and im not on stock injectors, like i said i only boosted 11psi for one shift, and then i realized i had to much boost so i went home unboosted.

congradulations!

and yes its normal to break the tires loose... with my old setup at times i would just spin through 1st and 2nd and just caught traction in 3rd... and this was with only 11psi... now imagine how 20psi feels

some cars iv been in break loose 4th if they gun it at 50mph

I was finally pushing my car hard yesterday. I think its just pretty sick that I can lose traction in 1st when Im already moving pretty fast....2nd too sometimes. Damn Im such a boost junkie now....gotta turn this stuff down.
