Most exhausts sound 100% better when a turbo is added.

Sidenote: This girl was totally eye ******* my FMIC while walking next to her boyfriend.... Boost gets you laid.

SARX'ing something means you have fixed and returned an item to a better working condition then what previously existed.

Exactly! So far all SARX mods are holding up well. I do have a very slight oil leak at the turbo oil drain line gasket which is annoying because it was new and I added copper RTV for extra insurance. But I am pulling the turbo soon to add lava mat to the firewall/chassis area so I will fix the leak for good then.

seems like you are at a pretty decent boost level, are you planning on running a dyno before the end of the year?

I'm around 8-10psi (depending on which boost gauge I look at). We do plan on getting on the dyno eventually when Hoss-05 is done but I'm not really chasing numbers, I want it to be quick to drive great. With the fine tuning the drivability has increased tremendously.

My first real test will be at the track event on the 3rd of November, hopefully I can get 100% dialed in by then. If not then I'd like to get out to the drag strip and run some faster cars to really see how I stack up. So far I am pretty happy based on a few pulls with some pretty quick cars though.

Good to hear, the boost range you are in is a great place to be...shouldn't get you in trouble yet feels great. I'm sure you know this already but getting the car on the dyno may reveal more work to be done, great way to see what's going on paper.

Yeah eventually I will get on the dyno just to see if I am leaving anything on the table. But then again I could just let Shady dyno and then race him and see where I stand, . We have similar setups, except his turbo is pink.
