Boost Gauges that stop at 30 always make me think of my favorite street race story. My friend Sam has a 2G Talon TSi AWD and he was getting ready to race a kid with a turbo’d Civic Hatch. One of the Civic kid’s friends started talking to Sam before the Race and the exchange went like this. Civic guy: “How much boost are you running?” Sam: “I don’t know.” Civic guy: “If you don’t want to tell me you don’t have to be a dick about it dodge the question just say you don’t want to say.” Sam: “No really, I don’t know. The boost gauge only goes up to 30 so I have no idea what it is actually doing _shrug_” I laughed so hard at the guy’s expression when Sam told him that. Even harder when the race still happened and the camera car caught the Civic. ---

Even harder when the race still happened and the camera car caught the Civic. That’s funny. Those cars used to be the shyte. I ordered a Eurojet boost gauge, picked up an OEM downpipe gasket to use instead of the garbage that Raceland sends with their dp, installed new coil packs and spark plugs, and fitted a drain kit to my catch can today. Monday = Stage 2. Then…lower it. \*edit: Thanks NAM! ---

Found a nail in my tire, fixed the tire, found out my front 2 camber plates werent tight enough leading to the wheels having wobble in them. Was so pissed off when I first found that that I wasnt thinking logically, got calmed down, went and looked everything over and found the issue. Amazing how something so stupid is so easily over looked ---

Last night I did a boost leak test, put in a fresh set of plugs, fixed a rattling heat shield on my exhaust manifold and did some rough tuning runs no the first tank of e85 I have run with my current turbo. I almost forgot how fun this car is with corn in the tank and the boost turned up. ![http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a381/soadweskey/Tuning/E70RoughtuneApril2012.jpg](http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a381/soadweskey/Tuning/E70RoughtuneApril2012.jpg) I still have some serious rough spots to work out and the timing was accidentally set that high and has since been lowered back to about 18\* at red line. ---
