Lounge / sooo much pain!!
my best friend(are cars are matching except he has a red interior and has a user name on NATO) and i did a food challenge at a local restraunt. the challenger is to eat 7 of the states hottest wings plus lettuce and the gobs of hot suace on the lettuce. i did it with 1 second to spare and my friend bailed at wing 4. my cheeks had tears rolling down them, i was sweating and my hands were shaking. it felt like a lighter was burning my lips. If we have a weak stomach or get grossed out easy, STOP READING NOW!!!! i have puked a few times and nothing good coming out the other end. such bad stomach pains, i cant move and just want to curse. its a on and off pain. worst pain ever.... BUT i got a free TSHIRT and my picture taken to be put up on a board with only a hand full of other people out of thousands of people that have tried it! going to be a long night.........

Engine Tech / boost problem :(
my T5 turbo doesnt fully spool till about 5,200ish rpm with a racing header. max boost ive gotten up to is 18lbs. is this because of my head being restrictive? would the higher flower exhaust im going to get help this spooling problem? at 3-4000rpm it puts out around 7lbs, 4-5200rpm it bumps up to 10-15lbs then once it hits 5,200 it feels like vtech and bumps up to 18lbs. i shut down around 5,800rpms.
