oooo snap its been so long i almost forgot the symptoms. Only reason i knew a clogged cat was owning me was when i lost to a manual g35 from a roll when i was stock. Then i knew something was up since i had raced a million of them by that point and knew what the outcome should be

it buck cold out here and im hitting about 16.25 at redline but seems like its getting up to the 15 pounds of boost tons quicker. Cold weather mod FTW

i think that its totally possible to hit 15 psi on airbox in cold whether. Since i did my airbox mod i've been seeing slightly higher boost levels, even after i got headers and downpipe without the cat.

I only have a stage 2 kit, airbox mod and header and downpipe. And my gauge is definitely not broken either. Last night i took it out for a run and tested what the boost hit, and the gauge was good and constant at 16.5 psi above 5000rpm and would spike to around 17psi when shifting. It may not all be airbox mod, maybe its the dense cold air since it was 25 degrees out last night, but something is definitely allowing extra boost.

yeah. it must be the smog from the factories, you might grow an extra arm... but your car will run good.

This is a little hard to believe because the Fujita intake has a few problems with fitting in the car just right. If other cheapy companies copied them then you would be hearing about them not fitting right. So far the only ones with the same fitting problems are the Fujita and the Injen.

$25 for a wash and pix. but this one is my ex G/F's little sister and it was free

This was free also:


It seems to me that when you want the girls to wear less clothes you have to pay.
