rode in a boosted 7th gen for the 1st time

i met up with BoostedCivicZex and he took me for a ride in his car......WOW!!! it pulls REALLY hard and it was only set at 4psi! i was amazed, the turbo was far beyond what i expected it to be!

i can only imagine what 7-8psi must feel like, cuz at 4psi it had TONS of speed. i cant wait to get my kit

oh yeah, when we were driving around, some camero (Z28?) pulled up on him and he left his *** behind, the camero just hit the brakes and gave up, lol same thing also happened with a integra, must of heard the BOV and didnt want to waste his time. damn i cant wait for my kit!

Just wait. When you two come up next time, you will get to ride in a 7thgen with the DHracing cylinder head, intake manifold, and about 13 psi of boost.

sorry to go off topic. But, i was just wondering, is it true that once you put boost on your car it cuts down the life of the a lot tranny since you're putting extra pressure on the engine?
