    Peak Boost varies depending on ambient temperature?

    I am only using the stock genome boost guage. It would be nice if access port worked for JDM. Life would be more simple that way. As it stands im setting money aside for anything that breaks. Next upgrades will be rims and tires, Z2's or AD08R. Then air fuel guage and a tactrix cable for a...

    Peak Boost varies depending on ambient temperature?

    Thanks for the info dude, I am running a stock EJ207 with a VF37 twin scroll turbo. Ive read that 1.5-1.6 bar is normal. The Okinawa is pretty harsh on vehicles to include the tempurature and humidity levels. My turbo, actuator or even boost solenoid may be on its way out. Or it could be just...

    Peak Boost varies depending on ambient temperature?

In the early morning or late at night when ambient temps are low, my car will hit 1.6 bar relentlessly. However when its hot ill only hit 1.2 bar. I expected the car to be sluggish when...

    Facebook asking for my government ID!?!

    Looks like I will no longer be using facebook :/ . Not to dive into the "conspiracy" realm, but with all the talk of NSA, Eric Snowden and general common sense, I was already selective on what I posted on facebook. With that being said, I did enjoy using it as a car blog and keeping intouch with...

    Rattle sound

    Any Idea on what this sound is? Sounds worse in person :/ When you open the hood, it sounds like its coming from the turbo area. Ive touched the heat sheild and tried to shake it. It seems to be firm.

    JDM Ver. 8 STi

    No rations on gas. It's just super expensive. I'm not exactly sure why. It makes me look forward to paying $3 something in the states lol. Grinder, we may be able to work something out. I have no idea what the shipping cost would be, although I'm sure it's super expensive. Importation laws are...

    JDM Ver. 8 STi

    The gas.... 1.77 per liter which is about $6.50 a gallon.... I get 17mpg on a pretty much stock STi so yea :( Not to brag, but to elaborate on laughable prices... The GC8 was 4k, GTR was 7K and the Ver. 8 STi was 13k. You can find a Spec C STi for about 16k. lol. However Japanese "JCI" bi...
