The Power Robbing Gremlin Has Been Exorcised!

11-14-2003, 10:17 AM

Well, for almost a year I have been wondering where the boost disappeared to. On my recent trip to Dealer Service, it was found. There was a leaking EGR gasket under the SC. After the repair, the car is running very strong. With the 2.5" SC pulley, I am now pulling 9.5-10 psi of max boost. It feels good to be back. Hopefully, I can get to the track before Winter takes hold. I should be into mid 14's. Just wanted to share my good news to all who may be interested.

I just want to say, "Mmmmm....strawberries."

Better get started...Spy and Knappy (Rob²..LoL) are gunnin' for you come GAP '04. You've got some West Coast competition now.

And who knows what the future holds for moi...

Congrats though...hope to see some more slips soon!

There's nothing like "Strawberries and Whipped Cream" served the right way. Thanks, Bro. It looks like 'East Coast vs. West Coast ' is heating up

Imagine how I felt. I attended 2 meets in which the car ran well below its potential.

Thanks for the good words, Bro.

Good to hear you're running on all legs.

Schweppe23 · 11-15-2003, 12:18 AM

Glad to see that you have exercised the demons. Now get to ATCO and run a new PB. East Coast vs. West Coast could be a fun challenge at GAP, maybe top 5 from each coast vs. ea other.

East meets West

Spaz/Homegrown vs. Aleroboy
Jaketuff/KmanGT1 vs. Knappy
Allmotor vs. Spyhunter
Schweppe23??? vs ???

This could be a fun competition.
