This was being done as an experiment to help minimize my stalling when sitting in traffic by hacking up my old AEM short ram. A/C running full blast cooling fan kicks on and blow the hot air from the turbo towards the intake; hot air + voltage drop from aftermarket fan = stall. So far, so good but since I did it it hasn't been quite as hot outside so time will tell.

What I wasn't expecting was that I am now hitting 11psi from 10 and it's at full boost in every gear 400rpms sooner from about 3800rpms down to about 3400rpms. It sure is a long distance for the air to travel across all that piping but I am extremely happy.

nice. as long as it works for ya. how's throttle response though, i'm surprised how long that piping is to the intake in the fender well.
 
whoa, are you serious? it's giving you more boost and faster? must be super hot under the hood.
 
I couldn't be happier with my Hiboost Kit. I have about 65k miles on it most of them at 10psi and now up to 11. I have a J&S Safeguard which keeps my confidence up and income tax I will be building the motor and tranny and turning it up just a tad!! If anything the throttle response is better with the more dense air. I am waiting for a real hot day to get a good comparison.

Wish I had a job that taxed me so I could justify spending that much money. I get pai under the table and when I did work with tax it felt like christmas when it was time for taxes.
 
Income tax for me brings around $5k since I am raising my 2 boys by myself. Thats the only way I can do anything. I am always broke except that time of the year.

Still no stalling and power is still an amazing difference even in the middle of the day when super hot out.
