Turbo Life
Normal daily driven vehicle set at 6-7 PSI (lead foot twice a week)
10 PSI on weekends for dragging
How long should the turbo last before I have to do a rebuild?
Thanks for helping me plan.

Re: Turbo Life (dbman96)
I've found that turbo life and personal life have an inverse relationship as well...
*sigh* I remember the personal life circumstances before I turboed the car two years ago.

Re: Turbo Life (GSRwBOOST)
What the **** is a relationship? Does that mean she and you have a 50/50 partnership?
I ever never seen or heard of such thing....
It's always me, me, me and I give, give, give.
Boy am I a dumbass and learned it the hardway that women are the most
fickle, illogical, parasitic creatures on the face of the planet.

Now I just use them...

Re: Turbo Life (CivicT)
First of all I knock on wood for all you turbo honda owners.
I've been boosting for a year now on STOCK internals and STOCK clutch.
I've been doing anywhere from 6-11+ pounds (POS delta wastegate) and
now I am doing a comfortable 6 pounds on my TiAL. Since I am bogging nasty
and have 310cc injectors with a 12:! FMU, I think I am a lot safer from detonation
and pinging than most turbo honda owners. However my performance sucks ***
and I am a mid 13 - mid 14 car.
Oh well but it is still running strong.
