I love driving this around, im not always in boost anymore. I would have loved to get the red but I think I made the right choice on this setup instead, I have plenty of time to try other setups.

I would honestly like the lag. Talk about some good gas mileage!

Some lag is fun, cause when it hits hard, it feels great, unless its a tiny turbo lagging, then you just have a boring car w/ problems. Haha.

I hate lag and couldn't handle the delayed response; glad you're happy though!

**Shane@DBPerformance** · 01-23-2009

There is no lag if you are in the right gear.

Driving around at 5k RPM is only feasible in a S2k

**scheides** · 01-23-2009

How is the transient response on this setup? Like if you do a 2-3 shift at 7k, does it re-spool anywhere near as fast as the stock turbo?

mike55112 · 01-23-2009

When I shift at 7 its pretty much fully spooled when I hit 3rd if I can shift fast enough, my transmission doesnt like 3rd gear to much but 3rd to 4th is amazing. I think my next mod is shep trans and tcase.

I think I have met you a few times at the cookout and other meets, Im always with kevin or blageo. My car came from being pretty much stock a month and a half ago to being what it is today.

I should have the buschur racing COP setup next week, then its time to drop in my dual pump setup and crank the boost up on some e-85.

Badass! What made you choose this over a spark-tech? Those things look so badass:

sleepydsm · 02-07-2009

So I have been having some problems with to much pressure in my cooling system, last night I blew a coolant hose that goes from the intake manifold to the head. I then noticed today that my radiator cap is a 30psi cap. Im going to be changing that out and hopfully I will stop bursting hoses. I know some of you guys will point fingers at maybe me having a blown headgasket but I dont think thats the case since I pressurized the cooling system today to 30psi and there was no leaks anywhere and also I used that chemical tester and it all turned out good there as well. I also did a complete leakdown test too. I should be picking up some cool new toys soon for the car, AEM wideband, new radiator, new ignition system, and install my dual walbro full blown assembly.
