I didn't realize that was you, did you put different rims on? I would have waved if I knew it was you. Was kinda aggrivated at the time, so wasn't really paying attention. As for the gti, had I been racing the guy, I'm pretty sure I would have had the advantage.
On another note, I recently moved about 25 miles out of town and noticed how much gas I burn through when I drive how I like to drive. I was averaging 17 mpg. On my last tank full I got 26 mpg, the best I have ever done, by keeping my foot out of it. Seems like it takes forever to get to speed, but worth it with todays gas prices.
haha...well then that tells me i dont want side exhaust...
I LOVE MY SIDE EXIT!
It was cheaper than full exhaust and the quality of maxfabb is second to none. I wasn't even 3/4 throttle going around dave, so you have to be able to deal with the noise.

I've always had stock rims. Yeah I was keeping my foot out of it too or I would have caught up with you. The wga hose must be off because it'll boost 29+psi. I haven't had time to look at it.
I average about 25-27 mpg. I try to keep the boost gauge under 1-2 in-Hg while accelerating and under 10in-Hg on the highway.

When I went in yesterday it was putting down just over 300hp @17psi. Stock Map sensor can only see 20psi. They're tuning with the cutout closed so full boost is right around 4500rpm. 11.5afr across the band so who knows I was alittle dissapointed when he told 303 right now @17psi. There working there way up to 20psi, then have to tune for normal driving.
I would be a little girl if it hits 380
Are you coming down for the first mayhem thats in less then two weeks away?
I think I might come out and race for the fun night, and do alittle bit of drinkin at the mayhem.
I have to go to court in May for a 93 in a 45, and I've had 2 other speeding tickets so I'm probably gonna be saying bye bye to the license. Should be able to get a work permit I hope.

ouch man that sux! gotta watch out for them coppers! so are we haveing a get together or what? seems like you all know each other and im the noob...
Well I didn't get the car back today still working on the part throttle tune, I guess you have to have the wideband hooked up into the ems cause the narrow band was'nt good enough.
Also I had to switch out the spring in the wastegate cause the one that was in it was'nt staying closed. I thought you can get 22-23 psi out of the preinstalled spring , from agp's kit. I need to get the aem map sensor, and I think i'm gonna switch to e85 by the end of the season. Still need a clutch though so I'm thinkin 330ish at the wheels will be alright for now.
If it was on a mustang dyno it probably would be hittin 380hp
What's the update on a bbq/cruise night? My car is with Arronneon @ Realtune perfromance getting a REALTUNE, and all sorts of goodies. Should be pretty beastly when I get her back hopefully this Sat. I walked into the garage, and said yep I'm glad I brought my car here. More srt's then I'd ever seen in one place. IDon't ever take your car to Rev Hard in Rock Island. They'll give you a half ass tune.
On another note here are my stock rims that I'm selling. I don't really care about a price 50 beans and they're yours. I can bring them with me if we ever arrange a get together. *cough*
