How Superman whooped my ass

Alright, i guess every story can't be a win.I was crusing along heading to a 24hour autozone for some new plugs. After intalling my new Diverter Valve which dosen't leak at 15 pounds like the stock one. I was getting a slight misfire. Anyway i'm rolling along and i see a subaru behind me. I wanted to see how fast he was. He gets behind me and we are both flying through slight traffic, most cars fall behind against my car but at about 100mph he was still on my ass....oh shit. He hits over to my right and starts to walk hard on me at about 120mph. Thats when i notice the black superman logo on the hood of this all white Sube. I also take note and notice the STI on the rear as he passes. I was kinda embarrased because when he was behind me i noticed i was puffing black smoke from my car misfiring, racing made it worse. I could have given him a better run with new plugs but that still would not be enough kyptonite.

well yeah it does help...you never know with that superman dude when he would show up and mess up your plans
true he would not be a match for vtec but you can never be too cautious

15psi on a T25 really isn't much at all.

just think about it superman...green glowing cryptonite...vtec since we were talking about the civics in fnf...get the joke?
15psi on a T25 really isn't much at all.
its true...the PSI quote for turbos its like the clock frequency for CPU's...its often the only thing quoted......but PSI without compressor trim (aka clock frequency without IPC) doesn't say much

On a T-25 15psi is the limit if you want your turbo to last any amount of time

:lol:
made me laugh twice tonight.
the vvtl-i system in the new celicas are basically the same feel as a DOHC VTEC motor. they (couple celica drivers i know) claim to pull "3 times" w/ the last one being the biggest, but it feels jus like one.
as for the original topic...vtec ownz all, the ls1 is #2 (only to vtec) and fatninja is going to ban every single newb from now on...

If you would look at my coments you would understand that what TATII mean to say was that 15 psi on T25 trim turbune is not that much boost
you see its not just the psi that matters its how much air the turbine can put out
a T88 at 15 psi will put way more boost than a T25 at 15 psi
