Are you planning on running it Friday?

 

[Gav'sPurpleZ]

It hasn't seen more than 20psi. I did wash it tho.

Don't get too excited. It's clean but it's not CLEAN.

Car will be there but current outlook is doubtful.

lol black cars are CLEAN for usually 30 seconds or less.

I havent had a chance to get logs over to the tuner....it would be pretty irresponsible of me to throw caution to the wind after I narrowly escaped a total engine rebuild.

 

[Mook]

I mean as long as I'm not in the car...

Pick me up tonight. I'll hit the log button for you! lol

10.70's last night???

 

[Mook]

????????????????????????????????????

Nope. Car ran identical times to the summer. To say I was massively disappointed is an understatement. But it drove there and back without incident...so I can't be too mad. I need to get logs over to my tuner like I should have done from the start.

So much for this being "turbo weather"

 

[Mook]

I mean it was, just not for my car.

I hear ya. I really thought I’d run faster at that last even than I did during the summer. Same times and speed.

At this point I think asking it to do more is beyond its capabilities. I’ll still run it and have fun, just with an adjusted expectation and go for consistency instead.

 

[Mook]

So I had my car logged today....and boy should I have done it the moment the car came home Needless to say, boost is turned down for now and I'm scheduled for a tune revision 11/1. The season isn't over yet!

 

[BOTTLEFED]

A little lean are we??

 

[Mook]

Its more like I'm overboosting in the mid range and under on the top end. Tuner needs to remap my boost controller in the ecu.

I'm sure I'm leaning out b/c of that in certain situations as well. Boost is capped at 24psi for now.
