185 tires @15psi... will I die?
 
1 Attachment(s)
I put my MBC on a few months ago cause the EBC was giving me spikes/drops... and the MBC will hold 15psi to redline. I figured based on my last dyno pulls and my recent timing/COPs upgrade I'm in the 220whp neighborhood. Definitely not responsible on 185/14's. So I pulled the booost controller and it's wastegate only for a few months.

I think my Heliums are sold, so back go the stockers... I may die due to lack of boost in the next few months. But when I get my 6UL's and 225/45 RS2's, I'll probably blow the dif.

That's a perfect excuse for a 7"dif and my new 3.636 gears that came today!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOT! It's a crazy circle.

I was hoping for a picture or video of a big smokey burn out. I'm a little let down.

yes, i expect to see the following:

a) two 185mm wide black stripes on the pavement

b) you rotating your tires 3 times a week

Dude you are so going to destroy that diff with 225s :)
I'm gonna send you a PM.

this is the last time you will mock me with thread titles. You just made the list, motherfucker.

Ben, PM received... probably will hook up the EBC again and run wastegate daily... only engage the EBC on the freeway in a straight line.

The tires I'm running now are brand new 512's... a lot smoother and queieter than my T1R's... but almost lost it on the offramp coming to work this morning. Steering is MUCH lighter, but grip is lacking.

PS: anybody know a good witness protection agent... I might be needing one.
