Anyone else addicted to BOOST?

I was just wondering if I am alone? I recently sold my LS1 powered Formula and bought a Dodge diesel. 4 days after purchase I added a 3 guage pillar and cannot quit watching my boost guage, EGT's or quit listening to the turbo even though my truck is slower than ****. I can only imagine what it would be like if my firebird had been turbocharged.

i had a turbo dsm and it was alot of fun till **** started breaking. after that everytime i started running it hard i would have to keep one eye on the gauges and one on the tach and my wallet on my lap because i was so afraid of boost creep or a spike that would destroy my engine.........but yes when things go as planned boost is fun

Did that before I even got home with it............I nut every time I go somewhere or pull the slightest hill. 21 psi just isnt enough anymore.

I hate diesels, so loud and obnoxious, especially the drivers. They like to haul *** everywhere.
