FYI:

You cant find a boost leak by visual inspections or boost gauge.....must be tested properly w/ compressed air.

I test to what kind of boost im running + a few more...

I myself don't believe in the test to a few psi concept because testing at a few psi wont tell you whats happening at 25 psi, etc....I have had leaks at 23psi'ish that I couldn't hear once the gauge drooped below 20 psi.

Yeah dude, your car is quite peppy. As much fun as it was though, I don't really recommend 120+mph on Blizzaks .

That makes too much sense. Why would you test the car like you drive the car? Doucher sez you only need to test to a couple psi. Hey I got a manual, wanna borrow it? Holy f8ck I just saw that you run 1050cc/min injectors. Doucher sez that you need an AEM for more than 680cc/min. I know your lying.
