Yeah, no kidding. Back when I used to own a shop, it was the shop joke. Get a Honda owner to go turbo, and you have a customer for life

If it makes you feel any better, I'm pretty content with 8 psi on my GSR. I had it at 10 for a couple days and it was honestly insane but I feel better driving around at 8. Maybe I'm crazy. I don't drag race so it's a lot easier to be content with a "moderate" amount of power. The only thing I'd like now is a standalone for better tuning. It would be "NICE" to have a built block so I can boost like crazy but I don't feel like I NEED it now.

That's what I did. After I couldn't find a TT in time, I just went the easy way. No more 200+whp to one wheel

I noticed in your sig. that you ran a 13.6 with your WRX? Is that stock?!?!?!?!?! Or is that with like a TurboXS power package? They say from the factory it does a 14.4?

Whats funner to drive? A turbo honda or WRX?

I just thought of somthine. How do they dyno w AWD car?

There are a few ways to dyno an AWD car...an AWD dyno (tehre are more out there than you think), Dynapacks or use a FWD dyno and replace the center differential with a welded one (I think a welded one) so only the front wheels get power. Later!

Some cars have only a fuse for the AWD, remove the fuse and you will have a FWD car.
