How many times a day do you guys pedal it to full boost and for how long? Just wondering if my daily beating of 5-6 times a day going full boost up to fifth gear is that bad? :eusa_thin I am lucky I only take it out 2 times a week. I thought over the summer I would see almost 15lbs with my 2.8 pulley but only have seen 13.5-14 lately. :shruggood

haha, not sure if taking it to full boast in 5th gear is the best 5-6 times a day. I used to beat my car pretty hard seeing red line 5+ times a day. But latley I take it easy more often then not.

I used to do the same thing, and even now when theres an import messin with me, I dont even give him the time of day. Unless we have a light or he is like slowin down to race me, Ill just blurp it enough to pull away and stop. Latley I have been really easy on my car, but maybe thats cause I blew up 4 t5's now :eusa_wall

Boost is addictive...but since I drive it every damn day I don't go into boost often, although its hard not to see a few psi b/c it's a roots blower.

What I'm sayin is that I am not spewing out 12psi everytime I get on the gas. I save it for when I need it :violenc-s

Just drive smart and a blown combo should last as long as a n/a setup.
