From what I gathered with the help of my friends:

I may have what tuners call a "Boost Pill". Basically, I have to confirm this with Doug from TopSpeed first, but, Doug may of changed this "set screw" that is located in the wastegate of our lovely stock turbos, so that he could tune the car with meth for higher PSI. Being that, the wastegate I believe stays closed longer, being that there is more pressure on it to stay closed, therefore making me boost in 23+ PSI no matter if I have EM or not. Being so....I may just have to baby it until I get the Spec-C Tank, and send that along with my SMC Pump Kit to SMC and wait for it to get back, install it....and then load in the TopSpeed Base Map, then the Meth Inj map that Doug made for me. Or if its easy enough, find the stock "set screw" and swap them for the meantime, and drive on the TS Pump map (the TopSpeed Pump Tuned Map). I will update you guys as I find more info....the learning never ends!

Update.........

SMC Meth Kit has been sent to SMC Enterprises for a full rebuild with the newer seals. Also, I sent them the Spec-C Intercooler 12L Tank for the conversion to relocate the pump in the trunk...maybe that will be the reason why I may just go 100% Meth Tune in the summer.

Talked to Deadbolt, great company. After some discussion, I think I am going to stay with the SZ49 rather than the SZ55, and here are the reasons:
-I plan to upgrade the SZ49 from the 2.4" to the 3.0" Inlet, have the fatboy upgrade, the 8CM Hotside upgrade (8.5CM Hotside upgrade won't be available for another several months.), and have the rear outlet ported. So after all those modifications to the SZ49, she should be 20whp less than the SZ55 3" inlet. This setup will spool up 300-500rpm quicker, and be a little more "Healthier" for my engine, being its stock. As far as supporting mods....well:
-PE 850cc Injectors
-APS DR725 FMIC
-APS Headers (Full inside and out coated by Jet Hot)
-APS CAI
-Tial Bov
-Tial 44mm EWG plumbed back into my Invidia V2 Catless DP
-Blitz SBC-I D3 Boost Controller
-Either JDM Tumblers or APS Tumbler Deletes (Since I plan to go bigger in the way future, I may just get the APS ones, but if the JDM ones that John bought are the same or better, than I can save money and get those for like $200 and change).

The car should be ready for all these mods to be installed by the summer time........mid summer, and have Chris at XX-Tuning tune her. I don't know what kind of power I will get with this setup, but it should be around " " the mid 400's whp/wtq. Should be very interesting. I will be getting the Cusco Zero 2E Coilovers within the upcoming weeks. Then its time to buy the turbo from Al, and have the work done at Deadbolt while it is getting rebuilt. The guy at Deadbolt is very interested to see what my setup will do on the dyno !!!!!!!

Don't ask...I just felt I could just say what I want in my journal.......make me feel a lil better...


Sunday was a horrible day.....I ended a relationship with my g/f. I know, I am def not perfect...and anyone having a relationship is insane or just has enough patience. She put up a lot of crap from me.....and it was nice....I mean we had our arguements and differences.....no one is perfect...but after things, and the way I was feeling....it just wasn't there anymore....the happiness I wanted to keep and have. It sucks....almost 2 years this 5th of December....but I had to do it.....I hurted her too much, and she hurted me as well. No one at fault...but I would take the blame eventhough I point the finger when I shouldn't at times....

Its strange....after having relationships...end...my cars (along with my friends ofcourse) are there to let me escape reality. I guess thats why I always loved working on them, racing them, and just driving. Yah no radio...windows down....thats what heals. I know she will find someone def better...especially someone who isn't into cars like me.....she didn't really like the Subie....I dunno.....I guess we weren't matched so perfectly. So what to look towards is just working, hanging out with all of you out there...driving, and mod'ing. Hopefully something will come up in the future....it sucks...just wish her the best and all the happiness of being with someone def better than me. Sorry guys/gals....just had to get that off my chest...and thanks always for just reading my crap.

Let's think positive. Imagine if you broke up with your gf, and you DIDN'T have your car, so not the worst case here . Anyway, drop by and we go to track and be happy . INTERCOOOOLA!!!
