Default help i'm an addict, is there a support group?

This is worse than a morphine drip!

I've seen as high as 16 psi during a 4th gear highway pull (only gear that will go over 13 psi). My waste gate spring normally won't let me past 13, but I played with the electronic controller and maxxed it out so that I'm basically running no boost limiting on the wastegate It just goes to what ever the spring will allow. Car doesn't seem much faster though. I think I just have the turbo close to maxxed out.

God help my poor little motor if I upgrade the wastegate spring. The car is down right now due to the clutch and i'm jonesing for a fix of boost.

I have a T76R going on next week after the clutch is fixed, I hope it works out good. I don't really want to up the boost any more until I get a forged low comp motor in there.

Can you ask your GF if I left my watch on her nightstand, I can't find it

We are hoping it's just a minor issue with the PP. If the stage 5 isn't ok the stage 4 is going back in. I don't wanna spend all the money on another clutch. Need to build my forged motor incase I pop this one.

2000, As far as I know, things were going well. Matt shoulda flown out today (?). I talked to him a little over the weekend and he said things were going good, but I did tell him to watch his back. Though I think that's anywhere you travel in the world any more. I'll probably get another email from him once he hits the Netherlands again, and if anything crazy had happened he woulda sent one out by now.
