    Default Picked up the new car today

    Picked up the new car today :) Link. I'm going to do a comprestion check soon, but man is it strong and fast. WOW I couldn't beleive it!

    I've managed to turn down the boost to a modest 13psi compared to around 18 that the PO had it set to , and to adjust the Waste Gate sensitivity so it is able to modulate the boost. I've also turned up the sensitivity for Knock Sensing.

    He took very good care of the car, but he definately gave me the impression he wasn't worried about weather or not he was hurting the engine by boosting sooo HIGH. It has a little popping at idle, but I'm not worried. Worse case senario I'll have to get one From FM... Don't you know the wife would love that

    Oh the fun of a new toy

    Congrats, TD! Sounds like quite a fun new toy. Now just ditch those ridiculous wheels.
