in denial........... and not the river.........
well, i took the turbo off the other day and went back to stock. my current set up cosists of stock b16, stock header, gutted, cat, 2" exhaust with resonator and stock turbo muffler (looks and sounds stock). damn my car is slow! unfortuately i'm still rocking a boost gauge that is there to haunt me every time i hit WOT and it stops at zero instead of climbing to 13 
every time i change gears i snap my foot off the gas quickly forcing the throttle plate to close quickly and produce the best bov possible, only, there's no bov there or positive pressure to even realease for that matter when i mash the gas all i hear is the deep tone of that one off sound that only a dual cam vee-tack engine can produce with and intake, and although it cheers me up a little, it's just not the sound of a .63/.60 with open down pipe screaming in my ear and scaring away little children and old ladies wheel spin, now a thing of the past, it seems like it takes ages to wind the gears out to 8k now, where as before, i could barely react fast enough in first and second with out hitting fuel cut. the si will be boosted again, bigger, badder, and better very shortly, but in the mean time, all you boosted brothers out there, 'po out a lil boost' out of you wg fo ya homies that's no longer boosted, and if you pass me on the road, be sure to blow off right in my window, it's what i would have done if i saw a ricer with gauges and a big open hole in the front bumper where a beautiful fmic use to sit

jaja, Do it soon or you will fall into a much much deeper depression, and then you will have no hope of being your boost happy, post whoring self again. If you come down to Florida I'll be sure to blow off in your window

Re:in denial........... and not the river.........
there were just a lot of things i was neglecting b/c of the turbo needing so much attention. in a couple weeks i'm getting es bushings all the way around and replacing any slightly worn suspension/chassis parts, after xmas, getting the beefiest clutch i can find to go along with a new flywheel and helical lsd (more than likely obx 
), then by the end of february i'll be rocking a ---- bird mani coupled up to either an sc34 or an sc61. gonna get over 300whp from teh stock b16, then when she can't take it any more, i'm gonna build her up, prolly by the summer time, it will be worth it.
