a little rpd footage (3rd gear pull)

people are always asking to see rpd footage of a pull on a lot of peoples cars. lol. well, i was bored as hell and have plenty of opportunity to do that in kansas so here ya go. lol.

as for the boost tapering a bit (which you will notice), its because of a pre turbo exhaust leak. also my boost kind of spikes a little bit (wga is a tad too tight)

Im actually thinking of ditching the glowshift. It looks great but reads about 1psi low. You can tell when its off the needle isn't at 0. How's the prosport?

My tires are wore a bit uneven due to the alignment being out forever. Lol. Its aligned now, but that's the only thing that I can think of as to why it tq steers like that. U think fatter tires could do it too? I run 255's

I had 3 glowshift gauges and it was a horrible. Colours mismatched between every gauge never could get them the same. After 2 year mark boost guauge started to stick in places. Turn on the car and sometimes it's on a random colour that I'd never choose. Just too many little annoying quirks.

did you ever find out of a way to choose a color and make it stay that color instead of having to change it every time you turn the car on?

Nope just completly random for me. And sometimes it would get into a sort of "demo mode" where it would go through all the colours :p
