No, I think common sense is what keeps me from turning the boost up on a sidemount sr20.

And it's funny how a couple people are quick to bash sr's because some idiot has no clue what he's doing.

Edit: lol, the pictures are funny as hell though

Damn that sucks, I had an 01 ITR and wanted to boost it soo bad but decided if I wanted boost, it wld be more fun with rwd.

You're just lucky that 15psi of boost didn't blow the welds on the intake!

Now me and the mad scientist have gotta rip apart the block and replace the piston rings you fried!

NIICE!! Believe it or not, this very thread will keep alot of SR N00bs from getting too curious with a boost controller. We can all learn from someone else's mistakes. And dude, u gotta use macro settings on your camera to get the real close-ups to come out clear. Good luck with the rebuild, keep us posted!
