That was with your stock injectors? I don't see how you were even able to build boost. It would have fallen on it's face if you tried to boost.

it went past 10 psi but then i had to look at the road
but i was told that a ihirhb5 is set at 7psi what could be the problem the wastegate is hooked ou to a nopple on the turbine housing is that right

All the time and effort to boost your car, and then you blow the whole thing doing something stupid like that? You may be up for an award this year.

hold on--you're asking if you should boost again? I'd be asking if you should be allowed to have children. :P

btw, I love your sig, that pretty much sums up what you did huh
