Lost my s*** today driving to school... some kind of rock or chip hit my windshield and left a huge crack that's expanding... Going to apple auto glass tommorow morning first thing... looks like I'll need a new windshield.
sucks! do you have insurance that covers it?
Any of you guys know what could lead to boost creep??? All my clamps are tight. My car creeps up about 2-3 psi at 5300+ rpm. Also my knock is always 0 until I hit that same mark. So I get boost creep and about 2.5-4.0 knock consistantly at around 5300rpm. Something is wrong.
Right now my only guess is that my fuel pump blows and im running lean. Could that lead to boost creep though??? I really don't think thats the issue though because I had the same problem before I was using my cobb ap.

If you have a crack then the windshield will need to be replaced. Just make sure they get you the correct one, ours is different from the normal 6 (IIRC the main thing is the clear part at the bottom so you can read the VIN).
Went to mcdonalds this morning in the drive through. As I was pulling up I could hear a slight popping coming from my drivetrain somewhere. The sound was louder and noticable since I was right beside the brick wall. Not sure what the heck would cause this. I have heard it off an on for the past couple of months.
I didn't know that even the windshield is different on our cars... wow. I'll bring it up tommorow...
Blew the silicone coupler coming off the turbo on the way home tonight. Scared me. Thought I blew the engine. 18 psi under hard throttle and a complete loss of power and a loud hiss emerged. Let off as fast as I could. Pulled over to check it out. Sure enough the worn clamp came loose. I believe the oil was the culprit. Fresh oil on the exit side of the turbo. Hmmmmm. I knew the turbo has been blowing through a little bit of oil for a long time now.

I wonder if you could find a way to put a drain cock in the bottom of that hose and get it to seal up.
Why cant you get t-clamps?
BTW I installed my COBB SRI lastnight. Ill install the ATP 3" inlet after I order replacement silicon hoses and t-clamps.

So far I'm happy with the way my s GT came from the factory.
