thats right, you know how i want to go back to the stock exhaust! i cant wait.

also for the time being, go to autozone or kragen or something and buy a boost gauge. just so that you can see exactly what your turbo is doing. it will help you whenever you do the shiv relearn trick. i bought one for $60 just so that i have something until i get my Defi gauges.

Thanks.

I also have the various graphs of the data; Miles per tank vs date, MPG vs Date, but didn't think y'all would be interested in seeing those.

ITs funny but when ever i try to be that organized i usually start of fine and then get side tracked and say screw it and just drop it......some people call it laziness some people call it thinking on your feet which ever......

there is nothing wrong with me......and what is a PM? First of all why not? What is the point of a fast car if one cant even drive it to its potential......and dont tell me that you drive like a grandma.....i know you a little betta than that......there would be no point at all whatsoever to even have those mods on your car or mine. Face it the only reason that people put mods on their cars and spend crazy money on those money black holes is to make the car go faster and bring out its full potential...... So calling me crazy would mean that you are part of that same club...
