23-psi is almost IMPOSSIBLE for a stock-turboed SRT-4, period, point-blank.

He was BS'ing about his boost.

The stock turbo-charger on that car is NOT capable of 23 PSI...

Well, that was one of his two excuses for losing to an SRT-4. The other was his engine was cold and was hitting the cold-run limiter.

Wait a second, if you are saying the NSX will not hit Vtec in 45 degree weather something is not right. That is not that cold. That makes entirely no sense..

No, its not. He's running 23 psi. This kid wouldn't lie about that...he's not that kinda person. Not only that, I know people who have been in his car and they confirm that he spikes at 23psi.

yeah, for those unfamiliar with turbos, spiking or "boost creep" as its known in the dsm world. its when your wastegate doesnt open quick enough, and for a split second you continue to make more boost than desired untill its fully open. in my eclipse, (with stock t-too-small, stock injectors, and even stock fuel pump) mine will spike to an unsafe 18 psi, but it levels off, and holds at 13 psi.
