A little earlier than last year at least, I get September which is my favorite driving month anyway, usually all windows down then.

Word! Whilst some here might disagree, dumped wastegates are teh sex.

Personally I have never like the dumped wastegates they are way to loud and raspy but if thats what you like cheers!

The sound of power is always sexy.

Been a while since I updated this, a while for me anyway. Still no car but I am going on week 7 in Kansas here so I am not too bummed.

This arrived last week I think?

The new MAP EF4 finally! It has a 1.7bar actuator so just under 25psi. So I actually might just run wastegate pressure for my DD tune, we will see what happens.

Danny had said he was going to have the car running by today but I didn't hear from him this week at all and as i am out of town I didn't have time to really call. I hope he is close as I will be home next week for sure and it'd be a nice welcome home present to have the car ready.

And as far as the o2 dump goes, I don't really love the sound either, but power makes me happy and if I can make another 30-40whp at a given boost level because of it with a more stable boost curve, yes please. My car when I get on it is very very loud regardless so I don't mind.

I don't know about WG dumps after being in brandon's car, I know for his car it is a complete waste to take away from the glorious sound of the motor and turbo.

Plus that dump is loud as fuck. Good luck, be nice to finally get a ride in this thing!!
