Ok guys I got a good story.

So im driving in henderson on st.rose, and im in the left turn lane to get on the 215. I was not speeding up to this point, car was still warming up. When this jackass (35-40ish) in a dark maroon porsche starts yelling at me at the red light from 2 lanes over. He was super agro saying like why dont I drive a real car, evos are peice's of shiiit, that I should follow him so I can see what a real car can do, etc. etc. All this was unprovked and I thought he was being sarcastic at first. This guy had a major hatred for the EVO! I just started cracking up!

Did anyone in henderson recently smoke a dark maroon porsche with a GT3 red emblem on trunk, and a dealer plate? It was the older body style gt3 (2000-2004) def. not the new one. If u guys see this jackass on the road funk his *** up.

Might have been the porsche I put the work on couple days ago on St Rose as well lol. I cant remember what color it was, but I pulled up next to him at Eastern, and when the light turned I took off. I didnt launch hard, but when I saw him trying to catch up I laid into it and left him in the dust lol. I hope that was him, and it could be why he was yelling at you in another graphite grey. I guess he was a little miffed he got spanked haha!

I'm at about 35-36 psi. My 60ft. was 1.8. I'm still getting used to my shep longer 1st gear. I'll soon add anti lag and eliminate that problem. 1.5 or 1.6 60ft. and extra boost,it will be a bit faster. But I'm very happy for now.

Got a ? guys. I have been having this huge whistling issue so I decided to see if I can find the coulprit. I took the intake off and looked and all connections to see if any were loose. When I looked at the rubber piece that attaches the intake to the turbo and found about a 1/4 teaspoon of oil. Is this a bad thing?. I cleaned everything out and tightened everything down and the wistling is gone thank god but is that oil a potential problem or am I looking at something normal.

finding oil is normal. If you look you'll notice there is a line that attaches from the top of your valve cover to your intake pipe. That's an oil line. Excess oil will get blown out of there back into your intake and into the turbo.

The whistling sound is usually just a loose clamp. Most of the time that problem is either the bov or loose turbo outlet pipe.
