The car runs great. We have it set at just 1 bar (manual boost controller was installed) until I get the fueling kit and another special goodie ;)
In 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th it pulls like a sob, even set at 1 bar! I only did a few pulls on the way home though.
Bad news, while me and Mike/Simmply (Mike, you the man!) were at Jeff Moss' place having him do a full leak down, Jeff discovered I have a problem on 4 and 5 :( It "appears" to be a bad head gasket on the drivers side, so the car will have to go back to Mike for some more work.
Hopefully before he finishes having the heads gone over I will have the fueling kit, etc ready to go!!!!

Looks like I am in a rental for Pahrump, again..................unless someone wants to loan me their car :p

heh. I might have a student coming in a fairly prepped STi :smokem:

If he comes, I'll probably drive that in my sessions :D
