Re: Nor Cal Third Gen GTG Fall 09 - PART 2
Had a great time, except for the disappointing time but hey, what else is new? I overboosted to 25lbs and it was fluctuating bad on the way home. Once i got back to high altitude though, it wasn't as noticeable. Ordering my incar boost controller here asap and will do it again. I know with a good launch and boost holding steady i can hit a high 12 like it should be.

Re: Nor Cal Third Gen GTG Fall 09 - PART 2
Sounds like it was a good time, sorry I had to miss out. Hopefully next year will be a better one for me. By then I should be high enough on the seniority list to get a more solid schedule, maybe even weekends off. Anyone got more pics?

They have some award winning pictures out there. He is also a marketing/wedding/portait photographer. They are looking to grow their business, so I thought that would be some good exposure for them to add some action shots into their resume.
They did my new phone book pictures, and will be doing our Holiday family pictures. I got things worked out with them to snap a couple pics of my car as well as all of the competing TGO's.
I'll share them as soon as I get them.

Re: Nor Cal Third Gen GTG Fall 09 - PART 2
well, if gured out why i did so bad at the track. I have a huge boost leak on one of the metal boost pipes on the driver side. I built a pressure tester yesterday to double check before ordering the $85 valve. Instead of being at the clamp, there is a crack in a weld that is blowing air through bad, even at 1-2psi. Crappy thing is some of the pipe is under the engine do i have to lift it out a few inches to get to it.

Have other things to spend my money on, like daily drivers, kids and a house. Maybe I should open up a shop and I can be a big dog too.
It gets work done to it when I can. Once my Durango sells, it gets finished.
