I like it. However it's not without questions.
Like, prior to inproperly installed #2 piston ring eating the motor, and GM putting in a whole new motor. The turbo was making about 23psig. Replaced the motor, rinsed out the turbo bearing, and bolted it back to the new motor. New motor only makes 20psig. I made them test it for a week. They found nothing and could only come up with, maybe the old motor, while eating oil faster than all hell, created more boost. Any insights? Nope... eventually... though I had 31XX miles on it when the motor went puht. Now I only have 55XX miles on the car. Not even 3k on the new motor. My drag buds want me to go to the strip with it next year. I may... use the fancy launch control. |

2005 Expedition Eddie Bauer and the 1997 Maxima. Looking to replace the Maxima with either an Audi A4 or A6 or a Subie of some kind. With the longer commute to work now I want something that is AWD with decent MPG.

I've read 22psi above ATM is the highest achieved...which is really alot of boost for a gaser.
