While I was using the stock motor (1 year)

I hit full boost (8psi) approximately. . . oh 10, maybe 20 times a day.(b18b1)

I just can't help it. . . too many on ramps on my way to and home from work.

I try to stay out of boost when commuting to and from work... (to save on gas)... but I just can't help it some times, like when I need to shoot through a gap in traffic...

On average, I probably see full boost 3 to 5 times a day, and that's when I'm taking it easy...

If I'm out having fun, I boost a lot... why not? That's the reason I dumped money into my car, so I could boost it!

i hit full boost probaby 7-10 times a day on average. We put all this money into our cars, so we might as well enjoy them

That's kinda like asking how many times a day do you hit VTEC? Every chance we get.

I'm maybe 1-2 times a day during the week if that. I put enough stress driving 50 miles a day to work and racing on the weekends.

I can't resist to hit full boost on ramps entering the freeway...

Maybe 4-5 times a day...
