Default Turbo in - I'm boosting - car's running good. Yeah!

So, everything is finally worked out. Car's running good, no codes (knock on wood) and I've boosted a bit. Everything seems to be in check and running good. Its a bit slower than I expected, but I know what I need. To get rid of my stock cat and exhaust and to get my fuel tuned. I'm running really rich. After that I should be good.

Just wanted to update anyone who was interested on where I was.

-Matt

Always good to hear. Did you run into any snags during the install?

Matt, First, congratulations!
Second, Ive heard running a turbo with stock exhaust can potentially be dangerous and damage the turbo (too much back pressure, heat, etc)...any thoughts on this from anyone else?

Lemme just say this.

Matt did a super clean install on his car. That, and the car pulls really strong, all the way up to redline.

But, the exhaust and cat gotta get replaced.

(Riding in Matt's car makes my fever worse.)
