So Eric, is it true that you keyed your own car to get the insurance money to do the repaint and flares? And how are those butt-*******-ugly wheels working out for you? Have you broken into the 10s yet with your magical turbo?
Hi Jim, nice hearing from you. The badgering came later than expected. I imagined this provoking and slander would have came much sooner.

I figured it was only a matter of time before someone noticed you were back and banned you again, so why bother?

So you don't deny that you're so starved for attention and can't stay away from the forum? I would have thought a new wife and the adulation of the local rabble would be enough for you. Well, you can always cruise the local high schools. They probably think your car is cool.

Greddy coupler shouldn't split with only 31lbs of boost..
What kind of clamps are you using?? Unless it had previous damage I just can't see it pop with only 31lbs of boost. I've seen these same couplers used by other types of cars, making ALOT more boost than 31lbs.

I'm using a t-bolt type of clamp. If I'm the only one that's had this happen then I don't mind putting another one on.

Actually, the word you were looking for was "Libel", not "slander".

Libel = written
Slander = spoken

I wish I could hear you all speak the posts through my CPU speakers, it would save me a lot of reading....

I'm not that knowledgeable, but I'm surprised to hear a t51 producing 31lbs. I also saw and heard your car at the Rotary Revolution, and I'm surprised to hear you only run 19lbs. Your car appeared to me to be in the 500-600 whp range. I was guessing that you were running between 25-30 psi. No one in your posse would tell me anything about your car. They all said "I don't know" to every question I asked. I hope to someday comprehend the secrecy.
