Nah, they didn't go that far. I only took it for a couple rides around here, and there was a one month stint when me and my buddy would alternate taking it out of the shop every morning..lol

Nothing that can't wait, just need to readjust my boost and would feel more comfortable doing so with someone more experienced than I. But like I said it can wait if need be.

Very true, I LOVED that one.

Took a second but I figured it out. Lol.

Exactly good Sir, but I want to get any little metal out of there that may or may not be there. Was recomended to do it at 500 miles then I can breach the holy 5k+ revs and turn up der boost for true WOT fun! Lol.

Mmmmm...french bread pizza for the lunch....nom nom nom!

i suggest that you keep the boost as low as possible until the motor's truly broken in.

what was the final verdict with your turbo? did they replace it?

You don't need any special assistance to adjust the boost...I also wouldn't be up for participating if this was an under-the-hood controller because it will require frequent stops on the highway- and i don't want to die.

You have a (proper) boost gauge, right?

Seriously? If you are nervous about turning up the boost yourself then you shouldn't have a boost controller. Turn it up a click, do a pull, if boost not what desired, turn it up another click. Repeat until desired boost obtained.

I will only warn you once Ajay- Don't leave hood open near Turco. Everytime he is around, the boost magically gets turned up
