ohh and if all the guy had was his car on stock turbo, only mod being boost controler at 19psi...then ya you should beat him...his car isn't made for 19psi yet...its made for 11psi...a lot of dsmers don't realize that they need other supporting mods before they "up the boost" he probably would have been a little faster if he actually dropped the boost to 14psi (on 91 octane) or 16 (on 93 octane) because he is currently knocking and getting timing pulled at that pressure

Im down there almost every friday and saturday nights...well, I missed a few weeks due to my old clutch being down, and breaking in the new 1, but Im there alot...are you talking about I9? and the Hess?

Better yet, what do you do on wednesday's? We all (like 60-100 cars) meet up in FT. Lauderdale and have a good time just hanging out and shyt, but then you know what happens when people start getting board...hit the highway!

PM me if your not doing anything tonight.

Intresting...and informative, I did not know. Im not sure if all he had was a boost controller set at 19, I didn't really talk w/him for more the a second. But if that's the case, then that thing will really move. The only visual mods I could see was an exhaust, and all he said was that he was on 19psi, he never told me how he got there. Question though...every time we would run from a 2nd gear roll at about 40-45, you saw what would happen (it happened like 3 times, same results) but when we would go from a 1st roll, he would be 2-3 CARS behind Something about my/his 1st gear would make the race not even a race. And he had traction, so it's not like he was spinning either. Just courious if you have any imput on why this would happen?

hmmm well I never checked out the vids because I don't have broadband at my house, I need to bring my computer (laptop) to my GF's house with cable.

But if both of you were stoped and you would just launch ahead...maybe he was FWD and just not a very good driver...or maybe he has an exhaust leak (cracked manifolds are common amoung 1gs as they are now all atleast 10yrs old, plus the manifold doesn't have any nickel in it where as the 2g manifold has small amounts and more resistant to cracking...so that could cause him to have much slower spool up...where as in second at 40-45, he is already at 4500 rpms and thats a sweet spot or the turbo...it would should be completly spooled (even with a leak) under .5 seconds...it would actually be almost instant with the stock turbo at that RPM

Nono, we were in 1st, rolling at like 20mph, and when we steped down I just stretched him by like 2-3 cars, and from a 2nd roll he was almost even...So he still was at like 4000, or 4500 rps in 1st, so it was the same thing just in diferent gears. Thats why it didn't make sense, but whatever.
