found out the problem to both issues. Boost controller I had a boost leak down on the wastegate line , it wasn't tight enough so I had to buy slightly smaller line so now on the lowest setting it hits 24psi then tapers to about 22. So its safe to say I'm not gettin on it anymore until july 10th lol. Also one wire on my o2 sensor broke so I'm gonna attempt to solder it tomorrow after work and heat shrink around the wire and see if it works. If not I'll buy a new sensor and route it a little differently.

Not sure the exact route, it was local. Backroads around 195,183,2481(?). It was cool. I didn't stay for the after but I think they went to go eat or bar b Q.

Hello again all. I've been away in Afghanistan since last year and I and Super Panda are back on the streets of Texas. I've seen a few new Evos rolling around and gave the nead nod to a TB with a racing wing earlier on Trimmier near the 190. I'm asking for myself as well as a buddy. Are there any reputable paint shops over here that will shoot good paint, clearcoat, etc that will be show worthy and worth the cost invested. Looking at spending no more than $1500 and going as far as Austin to get it done. Thanks and see you out on the streets.
