You know it!

I'm about to order my gauges too, but I'm going to wait a bit for those. Only need to buy boost, oil pressure, wideband, F/IC harness, and pay for a tune and I'm finished :D. So 'hopefully' June 28th my turbo will be going on the car.

lol. The most common phrases uttered by those who know about turbos are:

1) No boosting on a budget
2) Turbo kits don't blow motors, tuners do...

No two cars are the same when it comes to boost, so using someone else's base map isn't that effective. You don't have to take my word for it though. I'd seriously save the dough and get to a quality tuner ASAP. What's the point of being boosted when you can use it without fear of blowing your motor?

That's tEh rIcE!!1111!@

Honestly man, that's something you think about before buying a turbo kit. Whatever, if you can drive in boost as much as you like safely, what's the point?

That's like paying a hot girl to be your arm candy with the condition that you can't "touch" her lol.

I'm out. Good luck with the homey tune...
