ahhhh the question of my life. we still don't know. I've done some testing and figured out what it ISN'T, but haven't figured out what it IS. it's killing me though. the car is still quick, but i just know it'd be a LOT quicker at 20psi instead of 12...

it's not the wastegate accuator, or the boost solenoid, or the IC piping, or the BOV... so who knows? but it's freakin pissin me off.

If you have some time tomorrow or the next day give me a call. Iwould be more than happy to take a look at it and see if I can figure it out.

yeah, I guess next weekend would be better for me too. I'll be tired from the drive to and fro Houston. Can you believe my godd@mn mbc still hasn't showed? Al's trying to overnight one to me. But, I'm probably gonna be out there on Sat installing one right before my tune. Ghetto...! TT on March 11, right? D@mn it!

Yup, Mark will be here on the 11th of March. Still need a few more people to sign up. Good luck with the tune on Saturday in Houston. Give me a buzz when you are ready to take it to the track.

those springs are highly recommended by paul but if you do a search there are springs with a higher spring rate and lower it a little less which is good for speedbumps

hmm i forgot that SA does have some crappy roads and speed bumps. It does seem that these springs got pretty good reviews...i really dont want the S-techs been also looking at the Tanabe gf210's they seem to be pretty good dont know tho...talking to some others and they said do not even attempt to put springs on the evo with stock shocks...said it lowers the handleing and shocks. Hmm guess i will just stick with getting the cams
