Just to keep in Mind In can host a few hundred cars in Canton, Ma. at the old Blue Hills Lincoln Mercury Dealer. It's about 1 miles off of 93/95 on Rt 138.

If anyone wants to set something up..

Just keep it low and you should be fine. I have a catless setup but when I'm just coasting you can barely tell..

Thanks for your information.

Any issue with state inspection?

Yea it's gonna be about a 500 mile round trip but its ok. I barely drive the car so I might as well take it out for a lil road trip. I'm hoping to get an early morning tune so I don't have to be stuck in traffic.

What are you gunna do if the compression is f*cked? I wouldn't bother personally... there's no way its bad. Boost leak test would be smart to do tho.

Compression test is never a bad thing to do. I did it yesterday. I would highly consider it especially if you are going to long haul it for a tune.

I just wanna make sure everything is fine before I call for an appointment and waste my time and money. I especially wanna do a boost leak test because I removed my turbo and I wanna make sure its not leaking from the gasket and that none of my IC pipes are leaking. It's holding 17 PSI with no problems but I just wanna make sure. I've never done a boost leak test nor do I have the equipment to do so. That's why I'm hoping someone local would be able to help me out.

Josh,

We can talk about boost leak and compression testing. I might be able to help next week. We should also talk about your trip to Ivey...with regards to what I mentioned the other night when you picked up the helmet.

PM me next week. We can put something together then.

Dave, feel free to ***** out my design for the tester. It only cost me $7 to make. It is not a bad little device to have when owning a turbo car.
