You can't just get in the ring with ali cause you think you can box. He's working his way up to it.

I have already learn't how a incorrectly fitted boost controller can destroy a turbo, or engine. I do not like free spooling........

got up to 15psi on stock turbo and I said to myself, yeah nah.

DONT BUY CHEAP BOOST TAPS!!!

Also make sure you run proper fuel. No cheap crap. Also good oil helps. I had an ebay special boost tee on the Mazda. Massive spikes. Threw a turbosmart one all good now.

Don't quite follow that reasoning? You like it because its NOT the most refined and powerful of the rb family?

As for SR32, nope... I hate sr's personally they sound horrible:p rb>sr everyday of the week..

Yes, SRs sound like balls.

I guess my point is that everybody takes the easy route of power instead of actually improving their driving ability. It's easy to rely on heaps of power to do a huge power skid with an LS1/JZ/25 or something else with a huge turbo hanging off the side, but when you can make a 100kw car look like it has 200+kw, you must be doing something right.

Also, should run 98RON at a minimum. Know people with RBs who have gotten detonation running 95.
