Re:Finally boosted!
"I can see that vaccumm manifold was a great investment" Hah hah! Yeah I still gotta pick up some fittings for it so the someother things had to come first and I forgot what the thread size was. 
I'll have it working at the end of the week. Then for the turbo timer I got for like 50 bucks on ebay just because it had a boost gauge then when I got it, it was all covered in some epoxy since the guy had it mounted on a homemade din panel so the rest of it looks like ---- from me scrapping that ---- off and I couldn't think of any other place to mount it. NOTE: if you disconnect the hazard button your turn signals won't work :P

Re:Finally boosted!
Alright, I've been boosted since Sunday and only at .65 bar. For FM I've just have a Greddy bluebox and not throwing any codes but I'm not sure if I'm leaning out since I don't have a AF gauge yet but it starts to bog really bad at the higher RPM's. I'm not getting any black smoke or knocking. Could if be cause I'm just running an open downpipe? Sometimes I get some really good pulls while some other pulls it really starts bogging. I'm leaning towards putting in my Airtonix pump and picking up some 450s and a safc. But until then I may just pick up a adj FPR and some obd2 vtec lude injectors(290 i beleive) and see if that helps out any?

Holy ----! Well I picked up a set of 1 step colder NGK plugs over stock and gapped them at 30-32 and retarded the dizzy. Oh my god it was a night and day difference!! No bogging at all and she pulls all the way to redline. Now only thing that's bad is the clutch is slipping and this shitty *** CX tranny. I was amazing something so inexpensive and simple could make such a difference. Now I hit .86 bar and before the highest I hit was .6 bar before she would fall on her face and start bogging and stuttering. Yeah I'm so pumped! ---- yeah boost rules!
