So it's the first time you've turned the boost to (your # here) and you put your foot on the gas and...




K, I'm sure super20g has never been scared if he cranked it to 30 psi, but what about the rest of you?

25. 18 is pretty scary if you aren't used to it in my car, but 25 was just stupid. car spun the entire length of 3rd gear........downhill.

i dont get scared on the highway unless its mad fast triple digit runs, but on the backroads, I get scared very easily, cause your doing 80 around a 90 degree turn before you know it.... you gotta pay close attention or the car will turn around and bite you in the butt...

RyaN95i4 - you ran 20 psi w/o internals and w/o an intercooler? Did you want a new engine or something? MBC installed backwards? COOOL!!! I think you win as having the scariest car.

>why did you even get rid of it..

i owed WAY too much on it cause when my truck got totaled my ins. didn't pay it all off and tacked another 4,000 onto the price of my klipz and i was paying 360 a month and now that i'm outt the military and live on my own i can't afford that.
