lol thanks guys...

ahmad...my cats seem to have gone bad..it may have been the same issue as freddy had from the ecutout being stuck open....but when i did 100+ pulls on my way to indiana 3 weeks ago, i was smelling some foul odor........same thing now...rotten egg type smell and most likely bad cats....he said thats probably restrictin the boost from gettin to the rear turbo...the wastegate springs were set to about 5 psi in most of the vids i think...n then set to 9psi later but not getting past 3 or so pounds........gunna remove cats and replace it with a straight pipe and hoping that gets me what im supposed to be running

falls - ya def luvv the sound of the blowoff...wish i cuda used the greddy type s (high pitched whistle blow off) i had ordered on ebay but it was damaged so i had to use max's greddy type rs (more of a rushed air sound).....shud be swapping it back after max fixed the type s or i may go with hks ssqv
