Default impression of my 1st CAS TT ride
the S.O.B pulls HARD!!! wow, talk about fun! its official, the twin turbo is better than my old 455rwhp H/C setup. the turbos hit REAL F'N hard! i cant believe how awesome this thing is, and i got more power to come! the BOV is awesome too, louder than i expected. i still got my 4:10 gears and in 4th gear, WOW! it just pulls for-ever. im getting my 3:42s installed here soon. i still didnt get the boost problem fixed but before i take what i believe is a junk turbo off, im going to buy another boost gauge so each turbo has its own and i can see what boost each turbo is making.

big thanks to steve & GMR for the tune. im very happy with it. the car drives perfect. il be heading back out when i get the boost issue fixed.

I don't think having 2 gauges will work like you want. They should read the same regardless, it all funnels together and is the same back pressure.

That's sweet man, but I know what you mean by debt... I'm in pretty far too, and got approved for getting my car refinanced, bad part is, they want to see it, and I don't have it running yet... So, I'll be stuck paying 29% APR on my piece of **** credit cards. Hard to pay off debt with those kinda percentage rates, hope yours are better than mine and that you don't have 15k on them. =)
