If your car is not holding boost and losing power you may have a boost leak. If you have a loud turkey, then that usually goes along with decent boost pressure...as when I had a boost leak, I had less turkey. Embrace the turkey and don't waste your time trying to get rid of it. Enjoy scaring and confusing the elderly with it, along with everybody else.

yeah, i'm a bit skeptical on this as well...we need pictures, information on who made it, the size, ease of installation, etc. don't post anything else unless you want 4000+ members down your throat about where to get it.

They are in stock. I was going to set up a group buy if there was enough interest. Start a list, and i'll get it ready.

what's the CFM?
I was going to order one but I cancelled because I don't like being the Guinea pig once again. I learned from the Unichip experience. I'll let other people be the Guinea pigs this time.

The mag article I have dynoed the car after every mod was installed obviously in order of the installs, one part then back on the dyno, another part, back on the dyno etc.

LMAO, exactly what I was thinking. (rlaugh)

Seriously though, HiBoost is under $900...who the hell is gonna pay $650 for this?
