so i contacted brookdale mitsu to just get a full overlook of the car and just get everything checked out. I currently dont drive it at all because my parents are so scared to let me drive it. The mechanic just sounded like he just didnt like the whole idea of a modded car and so i just think he really didnt have a clue. i currently have a pressure gauge in there and it does work and it kind of seems like i may be running at about a 10 on the gauge but i dont watch it everytime i shift. Im really hoping its just the coils cause that is way less then we were told.

Run it till she blows lol. Welcome to the site, I'm sure someone on here has some stock 2g springs kicking around some where.

Again brookdale is not the place you want to take it, they know nothing about cars with aftermarket tunning and turbo kits. You need to take it to MAP or DB. besides if you take it to a dealership it will be the most expensive place on earth to be, and they wont even know what they are doing

edit: if your running 10 psi on a 420a you might want to try and get that down to 7 or 8 until you know whats going on so you dont blow shit up, and make yourself mad

Do not go to Brookdale, this car is modified and they will not know what they are looking at, just as your mechanic friend didn't know what he was talking about. It needs to be seen by a mechanic at a local speed shop, preferably DB Performance or MAPerformance, find their info in our sponsor sections.

Once they see the car then come back to us with more information. But until then we aren't of much help for you unless we could see the car for ourselves.

If he is running a Hahn kit, he is running 5 or 8 psi.

2gnt.com or jungy on here can help you the most to learn more about what you have. Are they still doing the 8 injector setup on these cars or has that new ecu thing came out yet? Or is hahn kit still use the fmu or whatever?

MAP has discounted labor rates this time of year. Not sure what they usually are, but I'd guess they're currently around $70-75/hr based on what I'm getting charged as we speak.
