Well, like the title says I got in a illegal competion of speed this evening against a 240sx, with mods he said he was running a mid-13. Not sure of all the mods. I am still running on 12psi and haven't bumped it up yet, so I didn't really know how I was going to hold up against a mid-13. Well...I beat him by about 5-6 car lengths along about a quater mile. I felt that the first kill story should be published
.
Now all I need to do is start turning up the boost.................

Haha, I'll probably start playing with that this weekend.
I have my vacuum line for the Boost Gauge - Boost Controller - Fuel Pressure Regulator all tied in together. When I hit wastegate pressure the boost gauge is going crazy from 10-15 psi, but looking at datalogs it is staying a stable 12psi with a slight creep. What should I look for that would create this issue?

You should post it over there anyway, just so we can watch the mods get their panties all wadded up.

I am going to tinker with it some tomorrow. I thought that 1/4" hose would have been enough to take care of those things. If I still have troubles after tomorrow I will post with further information. Thanks for input.
Congrats!
I beat a 240sx not long ago, it had a huge I/C and no bov. Never figured out what he actually had but I did manage to yell "LoL it's a turbo" as I passed him.
Lets meet at the track sometime so I can make you look good hahaha.
And when do I get to ride in this beast?

My first kill was a yuppy and his girlfriend/wife in his bright yellow late model 911 convertible, license plate, TOPLE55. They were cool about it though and gave me thumbs up afterwards.
