im not sure if i will make it back to the computer for a few days, but figured i would let you guys know anyway.

im taking my car to get tuned on a dynojet in birmingham tomorrow if all goes well. i (finally!) plumbed in my boost gauge the other day and found to my horror that i had been flying around town on 1psi of boost! of course i proceeded to crank it to about 10psi and got some real results (its 2005 audi s4 fast). anyway, ill be sure to post you some dyno graphs when i get back from doing this.

also the car is about to be repainted (what color though i am still undecided) and im going to be buying some new wheels and tires within the next 2 weeks. that means that by the end of the summer i will finally be able to post up some pictures of my car! in other news, im still looking for some output shafts for my z32 vlsd and am having no luck in town. if anyone has some of the dual 3-bolt vlsd output shafts and would be willing to sell them, let me know.

alright, thats it for now. ill be sure to let you guys know how it goes tomorrow.

edit: for those curious, i dont make 10psi of boost until about 5500rpm and only in 4th and 5th. i think it might make it to 10psi by 7000rpm in 3rd but im not really sure. it sure maxes out the stock maf quickly though!

ok, well i TRIED to take the car to b'ham but it didnt quite work out as planned. i kept thinking i was driving a miata but came to a sudden realization when my car was too long for the trailer we had. anyway, i think im going to try to get an adjustable fpr on there before i do so look for something from me in a week or so.
