Re:1st boost experience
my first boost experience (knowing what it is and how it works), was in an MR2 running 14psi supercharged. we had about 4 crx's meet up at purdue for a cruise and to kill some beer, and their friend with this MR2 showed. DAMN!!! granted, i'd had about 6 beers by the time i took the ride in it, but it was all i could do to look forward and not up through the roof in the first to gears. so that's when i decided to boost the rex.

Re:1st boost experience
My first one was in my brother in law's Mx6, He was using the stock IHI Rhb5 turbo but boosting 15psi, car was running high 13's to low 14's, I only drove it to 2nd gear because I got scared bad, that was about 3 years ago, my first and only experience 
, but looking forward to finish my car up. only thing holding me back now is the guy making my adapter plate, it's been 5 weeks, still waiting for it, bunch of excuses long story, but after that it's on.

GM is calling its 2.2 Ecotec its new "world engine" its in all the little GM cars, cavalier, sunfire, saturns. etc..

Re:1st boost experience
Its been debated by some that work at the gm dealerships since the option code for the 2.4 is still listed. We all doubt you can get it but it may be possible. The ecotec is the better choice anyways. With it being in all models maybe more aftermarket companys will make performance parts

Re:1st boost experience
My first boost experiance was a little over a year ago in my friends 2000 civic. Right when we pulled out of the driveway I was like...
"WTF!?!?! learn how to ------- shift you dumbass!"
He then told me it was just the exhaust gas comng out the BOV... I was like what? I started asking more questions and it pissed me off cause he didn't have a clue how anything worked because he bought the car like that. All he could tell me is that it was a greddy.
So I started doing research on the internet and I have been hooked on boost ever since.

Re:1st boost experience
Ahhhhhh, yes. My first boost experience. I think I was about 9 and it was my friend's parents Volvo wagon. Every time I got in it, all I could do was stare at the boost gauge. I didn't know what I was looking at, or what it actualy did, but I liked it. My second experience was in an Eclipse. It came with the trubo, but it had a lot of aftermarket parts added. It was raining at the time I went for a ride so all it did was spin the tires all the way up to 135 mph on the speedo. It was pretty cool even though we weren't getting any traction.......memories......
