On the flip side of things, I find that I drive slower now that I have Twin turbos than without. Because you can get the rush of accelerating in such a quick burst, you don't have the need to drive like an a$$ all of the time. Just a quick sprint up to the speed limit and I'm good!!!!

ahh yesss, back on topic!
Congrats to Jeremy and the PF crew for getting the 1st TT HR out on the road. I know other shops have shown off their show cars, but here we have a real customer car that will be driven and get some real world testing and fun!!!!

So are you telling me that because you are F/I, that you should throw mileage out the window and be pushing your car all the time?

And I gotta LOL at the guys here saying "yeah I drove 400-500whp cars when I was 14" Who in their right mind would let a little kid drive a 4-500whp monster??

Boost is an addiction...once you take a hit....you will be looking for a greater high...and when you go too high...you wish you didn't. 
Don't fight the powers that be....its stronger than any human. You will not be satisfied with that low boost for long.
