Default If I spend another $45, my car will be complete!

I'm so broke, in crazy amounts of debt, but I still have credit.

If I spend just $45 more for the Vortech FMU racalibration kit, I can finally bring up my boost to more than 10psi. My boost level in my sig will actually be realized!!!!!

Should I do it??? It's only $45....but I'm like over 10K in debt.

Oh man, such a dilemma.

$45 isn't going to make much of a difference when you are $10K in debt. I seriously think you should dedicate yourself to paying that **** off though.

Yeah, I would suggest incrementing the boost to run from the repo vans.

don't do it. If you spend that $45 to up that boost and what if some **** happens to the engine. Then, you gonna be even more in debt....

...oh **** it, live a little.

When your in debt **** goes downhill fast from there, First you have a turbocharged honda without proper engine management, then you get boost happy and crack a piston and you are so far in debt that you can't fix it. Sounds like my worst nightmare overall debt would be 15k

I think you should just make it 11k in debt and get a hondata 2b, then you can run your 10psi without doing an engine rebuild

gotta agree with what others have already said

Running over 10 psi on a FMU is a great way to find yourself another $3000 in debt.

I know several people who have ran deep into 10-second quarter miles using FMU's.

Haha, this is a great post. I'll probably do it.

Besides, like someone said, I gotta crank up the boost to get away from the repo men! Hahah.

I'm gonna do it....today probably.

Don't do it!!!!! if your already in debt just get a REAL standalone and tune it and perhaps keep your motor alive long ebough to PAY some/most/all your debt off FMU and high boost probably aren't gonna last you that long till something breaks and then you'll spend way more then the hondata and tuning costed
