How far can you drive without hitting boost?

[LinuxRacr]

I did something this morning I thought was impossible. I drove all the way home from work, 50 miles away without hitting boost one time! Anyone else find themselves trying not to hit boost, but can't fight the temptation?

Impossible for me (Maybe like 5 - 10 miles)

this might be off topic but...

I am wanting to know did you put the act clutch on your car with the engine still in it wshade? I am wanting to upgrade my clutch badly and I am curious as to the difficulty in doing it with the engine/tranny in the car. I have a pretty decent mechanical background for a 19 year old. I have been through my clutches in my v6 ranger. I am currently working at a machine shop rebuilding cylinder heads and what not. Any info is cool.

You can pull the tranny out with the engine still in the car. I would buy the shop manual if you don't feel comfortable figuring it out for yourself.

I have the shop manual. I was just wondering on the difficulty.

It was straight forward, just like any other clutch job. If you have changed the clutch in other imports its the same. My buddy and I did it with little frustration. I had one problem. One of the bell housing bolts was cross threaded from the factory. I had to use an impact gun the entire way to get it out and use a HeliCoil tap kit to repair it when reassembling.
