i just re-watched it (and feel dumber)

1- it's a greddy turbo kit.. ::) 10psi of probably non-intercooled goodness
2- his shifts are slow as ----- can't even chirp 2nd? most turbo civics i know can't get an inch of traction after shifting to 2nd
3- he's gay

That didn't sound good at all.

I don't think that he was winding it out, nor do I think he was canning it all the way.

That looks like my car when I am just tooling around town outta boost. Sure the BOV goes off a little, but you can hardly tell it is boosted.

i couldnt hear his turbo. probobly because he has one of those greddy type Ricer bovs with the annoying mouse farts.
a buddy of mine had a garrett airresearch t3 .60 / .63 on his z6 and it was very loud like a jet.

I saw the specs in the upper left hand corner of the video and something caught my eye

Greddy turbo kit.

That's why it's slow, his turbo is probably the size of a baked potato.

It was probably just the shitty Y7 with the greddy kit with an FMU totally untuned :1
