Ben was tuning my car tonight (I couldn't make it due to school) and he said I'm getting full boost by around 3600 rpms. He was surprised at how badass Holsets are

yea, i was up there and i thought about dropping by to see you Jake but it was close to midnight when i passed modesto so i figured you were getting your beauty sleep.
Nick, i also forgot about the divided manifold, which also helps with the spool but does rob some top end power which i did feel the turbo wasn't quite as powerful as the MP T70 at the same boost levels. but that could also be due to the portwork, i'm not sure how well Rick's ports their engines but i do semi recall your runners looked pretty much stock still which means the portwork probably wasn't ideal.
the drive killed my manifold gasket! car sounds like a lawnmower by the time i got home.. i guess i shouldn't have been driving like i was at the quarter mile from every on ramp with 500lbs of crap in the back of the car. gotta get my moneys worth from this big turbo though!
w/b Rob!

on a side note i just had a chinese couple come in and look around, apparently they don't speak english and were lost or something... the guy walked around like he owned the place or something while not even looking or speaking to me.. wtf. i sort of miss YC yet not.

Yeah we kinda covered that-back when I had my BNR stage 3 and you had your shitty hybrid thing you beat me in a race cuz my car was losing power top end...your "Streetport" was WAY bigger than mine lol
That's why eventually I'm gonna figure out my problems and crank the turbo to 20 psi to make some power
Oh yeah...change your avatar back to Inuyasha...it's just weird without it lol
