Its OK man, I bet we have a silicone coupling that has come loose, on the compresses side.
I don't mind coming down to your place ANYTIME!

Yes, we had two of those devils that popped apart. It's almost like the metal needs to go further into the coupling...
Fast as hell, doesn't die after coming down from hi rpm. Smoking off the turbo is coming down now...

Well I had planned to not drive the Z today (first day out not good in rush hour) but I drove her anyway. Man I just got to work and I'm shaking like a little girl. There's not enough open space to hold the gas peddle down for more than a few seconds! WOW!
I couldn't imagine twins, that must be like driving Kevin's car hmmmm Juztin?
I need to pop some sort of pill and relax!

I cannot say for sure, but because of altitude the boost only runs about 6.6lbs (instead of 8lbs). I would have loved if they compensated for this and they don't. You can get their number from their website and ask them. Let me know what you find out if ya do this!
Peace

Thumbs up Couplers are beotches...

Okay last time, I'm SURE I found all the "leaky" couplings. I tighten them way more than I probably should have this time! Got heavy into boost tonight and all is holding well. Some places the rubber just doesn't go very far past the bead.
I think the 80% Kevin did of this install was spot on, I need some help in my attention to detail. Well I learned me a good learnin'
Last time...THANKS KEVIN!!!! and also Eric @ Boulder Nissan, I learned alot and have a crazy @ss fast car now (and it sounds SO cool) Hope to see you all Saturday.
