Message	hardly ever boost :( I feel guilty somehow. Go extremely slow through puddles Installed racelogic so I don't fly off anymore freeway onramps Buy 100 octane at the Shell station to treat myself and the car to a bit of worry-free boosting. Always park and sit so I can see my car at all times. Install thermocouples here and there to be sure things aren't getting too hot. I mostly obsess about whats ALREADY not right with the car and that leaves little energy for protection. While getting tires mounted for Zcon, I had this doozy of a conversation with the mechanic... Tireguy: [looking at emblem] Is this a Twin Turbo? Me: Well, yea. Tireguy: Awesome! How much boost do you run? Me: 14-15 ish. Tireguy: Cool. On both? ROFLMFAO I'll be there in electronic format =).
