So how about the fire damaged car? Worth looking at? That part of Del Amo is less than 3 miles from my work. I should go look at it tomorrow anyway. Did he tell you how much he wants for it? I'm buying an M3 this weekend, but I can't let the bimmers catch up to the poochas in my fleet. Gotta tip the scales back in Stuttgart's favor!

Hey that's good ol crazy **** but it's fun once in a while until KABOOM!!! Hope the car's fine.
B.T.W. did anyone notice on the 'ecodetune' link how cheap those Audi guys are paying for things like carbon intake? Less than $400. Why do we always have to pay so much?

Glad you didn't blow it. In more ways than one.

After the little contest, they decided to look at my engine and when I told them that my maf alone cost $ 1700.00 they were laughing.

Well, with the cold AND 20% mix of Xylene, I think you were pretty safe. The approach in just turning up the boost and fuel and hoping for the best was not safe.....BUT DAMN BALLSY!!!!!!

LOVE IT!!

Once again, it shows with proper tuning the new benchmark of standard boost for our cars is not 15psi but 20psi.

TURN IT UP....TUNE IT UP....AND DRIVE IT HARD!!

Also the 23psi run, that probably put you right about 400whp, with the cold.

Which means you pulled with/on a car that "claimed" it had 50 more hp still than you at 23psi. So maybe he was over exagerating also about his hp

PORSCHE......GIANT KILLER
