i need reliable friends. problem is, in the army, you dont normally make good friends, because when you do, it always sucks to say goodbye. people are always coming and going, and you never stay with the same people very long. someone will come down on orders for korea, or stay back while you deploy, pcs to another stateside unit, get out the army or get hurt and discharged.Kooldino said:Needs moar friend.

well i just said goodnight to my girlfriend over the phone, shes still in AZ, and its too late to fire up my Diablo 2 game cause i have to get up at 0430 tommorrow as usual, but too early to go to bed quite yet. actually im about to wrap it up.accuser said:93 octane... i've always run that in all my cars... from a 1992 chevy lumina to a 2002 chevy trailblazer to a 2001 bmw z3... i can keep going... ( i change cars like my underwear) the protege is the car i've held on to longest... going on two years almost...
seems like we are on instant messenger... jsut us to talking on this forum...
i'm sitting in a cold datacenter, at 1:05 am, watching a server fsck it's way to hell... what's your excuse?
Matt - Checked out the pics of your kit. Looks damn clean, very nice piping. I envy your polished turbo (mine looks like a rusty turd). I guess my only beef with your setup is that the end tanks aren't tapered...they're just squared. Hell, mine are squared too, but that's the only problem I could find. I wish MAM was around back when I got my old Spool setup.
when i installed my first kit, there were like three people that said they would help me cause i had NO IDEA what to do. everytime i had a question i ended up calling mike (ghostp5) who was a great help.
the second time around i really wasnt friends with anyone in AZ. as a careerist, i couldnt talk to or even give rides to initial entry soldiers, which made up about 90 percent of the class. the other two people had families and such there with them.
fortunately my girlfriend is SO wonderful she asked how the turbo system worked. then made me explain the purpose of each gauge and what AFRs were. then wanted to udnerstand the FMU and fuel system. then she would point to random things and ask about them.
most importantly, when it came time to install the new kit, she helped turn wrenches man. i told her where she could help and she just rolled up her sleeves and dove in. and she knows nothing about nor has she ever done anything relating to cars save for changing oil and plugs once or twice. when i needed help holding up the FMIC while i drilled into the bumper support or when i needed help holding up the sideskrits and lip to drill holes there, she was all over it. i had to pry that wonderful woman away from the car.
and she really gave two s**** about the work, she loves the car and "misses" the pss pss sound of the greddy (reason i am ditching the bosch BPV and going witth the HKS SSQ), she just wanted to take part in what i enjoy.
damn, i miss her. 3 weeks, 5 more days of this misery.

oh, and if i was pissed or anything, shed just rub my neck and my back and kiss my ear and stuff until i smiled. never met someone so patient and caring with me. shed bring me my favorite drink (snapple peach tea) by the bulk if i was running into trouble.
she never rushed me or was ever upset if something didnt meet a deadline. i think she was getting frustrated waiting on nick to get my kit which was holding up the process but that was only cause i was frustrated. eventually i talked to beau and just went with his mpi thank god.

Anything more than 7psi without timing retard on these cars will usually knock on pump gas, unless you have some kind of silly water injection or something to really cool down the intake charge. Verify that you're indeed running 10psi.accuser said:
I've heard of some of the Haltech F10 guys running about 10psi on a P5 with stock timing, and even they reported some knock...and that's with a smaller turbo.
What turbo you running?
interesting. i need a j/s i guess. well im only boostin 6.5psi now...im going to be dumping torco into my gas at 8psi, i should be around 94-95sh i think with that. hopefully i wont run into problems, though i wouldnt be too upset if i blew a motor and had an excuse to go spend the money.
anyways, off to bed for me, wake up in about 5ish hours or so.
