OH NO! TEH VAN ESPLODE!

[Jeff]

so... is this thing capable of big smokey burnouts like the one in your avatar?

With the right mods, of course :wink:. I mean, factory boost peak is 7psi. I can only get that for about 5 seconds when I punch it at a high gear above 35mph. I mean, that is mostly due to the fact that it is an automatic. The Van in the pic might be a 5-speed. Right now it feels like driving a big v6. FWD Performance sells an ECU that works with all the stock equipment but bumps it up to 14psi, retards the timing, and it has a different set of wastegate tables so it spools quicker. With that ECU I could have 14psi in first gear, not possible with OEM computer and boost control. I could also go the cheaper route and get a manual boost controller, up it to the OEM computer's limit of 14psi and hope for the best. I want to intercool it and uncork the exhaust first, those are the biggest bang for your buck upgrades. I am kinda poor right now so I am gonna leave the terd stock until I make some $$$. So it is no threat to anything...yet.
