Today some a$$ in a scion tc was insistent on not letting me over on the ramp to 95.. so I floored it around the turn onto the ramp (and the turn has this awesome huge "bump" in it).. got the rear end of the car in the air and the old school lexus beep-beep-beep mayday message.. but I still passed the scion. Either they backed off because they figured I was crazy.. or, well, yeah.

(This was in the slllllllllllowww GS300 - not the -F, the -F happily bottoms out on said bump)

Default I'm back

West bound on 595 a red S2000 hammered with looks to be volks silver painted and oddly enough a blue roll cage. I saw the head lights in my rear view marrow ( still light out ) as he was playing catch up. Knowing that my PSI ems was set to 16 psi cut off I had to play it smart , traffic was thick . With the S2000 behind me I was able to control the situation . when the opportunity arose I slowly started to build boost. Now in order for me to avoid boost spike which causes boost cut which causes me to lose a race, ..lol Any ways a nice size hole finally opened up for both cars but by the time the S2000 hit it, I was in my sweet spot 13-14 psi in 4th gear 1%# something plus. It was to late for him to do anything about it . Man !! I felt alive..

You need to rip that wastegate off and find out what is causing this spiking. No sense in hurting the new motor over something easily fixable. If you need it, I have another tial spring laying around you could try. It won't hold higher boost though (20+) as I believe its alike a .5bar spring on the 38mm gates....oh btw...got your txt, i know.

I find it hard to believe that the race scene is dead in south Florida

East bound on Sunrise Blvd . Mit. Eclipse decided to blow by me as we were approaching a red light. As I pulled along side he let me hear his big awesome stereo with all its bass speakers. The light turn green he pulled off nasty spinning tires and all . I pulled off ever so gently just until I was right next to his open window. Then I let him my surround sound . Open waste gate ya gotta love it .

Sounds good! I'd love to see how I stack up on moderate boost (18psi) against the ISF
