Cool..
Shern, i'd rather not throw a map up. Holding thieves at gunpoint until cops come isn't fun, and the Lex is parked outside. I've had some friends who got stolen from in similiar situations on azht...
PM'd ya.

Yeah we were going to install the Boost controller and the wastegate spring cause i thought the car was boostin too much. I had an Apex'I boost gauge that i bought from someone. Anyways, Steve thought maybe we should try his guage first. So we did and went for a drive. The boost never made it past 9psi which is fine. So we didnt have to install anything. Then we went to eat some Korean food that i cant stop thinking or talking about..

We had intentions of going to Baja Fresh on McQueen and Ray, but noticed a new Korean/Chinese restaurant in the same plaza, so I was like "What the he!" Dangit, I forgot the name of it.
Got the Dol Sot Bi-bam-pap. I have to admit, it was pretty darn good. However, it's hard to gauge the quality of the food with Bi-bim-pap. I'll go back and try the bulgogi and calbi and Jap-chae next time. That will determine if it's good or not.
As far as Sean's car, it went well. We swapped the boost gauge out with mine and determined that max boost was 9psi, exactly where we expected on just the spring. A quick compression test in cylinder 1 showed approximately 165 psi, exactly where it should be on the stock head gasket.
So Sean currently has a good baseline on his NA-T install, but needs a better tune and/or MAF integration. It's runnin a little rough from 2K - 4K. But it pulls pretty damn hard even at 9psi. This thing will be a beast with a better tune and more boost!
