It's great to hear that you are enjoying your car, as from what i figure it isn't driven that often ?

Well I guess Mark is a lucky lad then isnt he haha

Yeah I'm a little worried about my own self control when i finally get around to getting my car streetable


Damion its running 26psi(occasionaly spikes to 27psi)this is with the boost control solenoid at 100% duty(maximum)so the turbo is maxed out for my combo/tuneIt might make a few more psi with cold air

Hell yeah, that certainly is a fair whack of power
I've gotta stop asking you so many questions about your car, it's making me way too jealous [:o)] [:0]

I may be interested in a group buy of some sort on some pulleys depending on my financial status at the time, so let me know.

Cheers,
