Ok first off no I was not in my C5, the weather looked crappy so I drove my Probe.

89 ford probe gt(same exact car as a old Mazda MX-6 Turbo). I was driving home just chilling with the cruise control on and here comes a DC2 teg with halo's, exhaust, it's dropped, has rims, and ofcourse the mighty DOHC VTEC badge. I dont know if it was a GSR or not honestly but it has the badge for what it's worth lol.

Anyway he comes up on my ass and I dont pay any mind to it just keep motoring along in my old school, out of date, bone stock 89 Probe. Then he gets next to me and starts "goosing it" or pretty much hit the gas....let off, hit the gas...let off. At this point I am thinking.......wow this dip**** is trying to race a 89 Ford Probe lol. But after a minute or so of this same crap I got tired of it. We are doing around 35mph so I slowly just put the car in 3rd gear. The car is bone stock so you cant even hear the exhaust meaning he never knew I did this. Well he keeps doing it and I wait untill he goes to hit the gas again(these people are so predictable) and I let him hit the gas then I did. The car was at about 2800rpm when I did this so it took about 300rpm more to hit full spool(a mighty 6psi lmao) and I am not kidding in saying I pulled a good 3 cars before the end of 3rd gear. Hit 4th and only stayed in it for a second or 2 but he got the idea lol.

After that he would not even get beside me at all. I even attempted to force him to get beside me by doing like 40mph in a 50mph zone and it is like he would match my speed but while 6-7 cars behind me lol.

you're my hero marty lol. owning teen's in tegs = win

burn..lol

pwned by a stock probe, how embarrasing.

is that a VJ11 in your probe? Same turbo i've got....(if so)

haha good kill though man, i bet that kid felt like a dumbass

EDIT: and if it is the VJ11, i heard they're gated a 7 PSI? i know not any more impressive haha but just checking so i get a better basemap

Yea IHI RHB5 VJ11 Turbo. Look into doing a upgraded housing and wheel from a thunderbird turbocoupe snail.

Good kill, i had the same car but the mazda variant and ran 12psi on the stock turbo without to much issue. I just added one cold start injector on a hoobs pressure switch to keep the a/f ratio just right at about 11-12psi.

lol nice, must have been hell of a embarrasing getting owned by an 89 probe

Yeah when i had my car the mazda version i dusted many cars that swore my car was slow.

3rd gear on full spool was just killer so anyone i took from a roll pretty much got slapped in the face. I even used to keep up well with the V6 mustangs which i know are not the fastest but hey they were still 2 cylinders larger.

any of you know if its 6 or 7 PSI? (out of curiousity)

I think stock is 7psi or atleast that what my boost gauge always read before i added the boost controller.

Sometimes i would see 8 PSI on some colder nights so it can depend on condition of the car and the wastegate.

and ambient temperture...

Well from what I have been told the stock gauge is not to accurate but I dont know. Flip could you answer one simple question for me because I dont feel like researching. What is the flange style on the turbo?

inlet flange is just a square with a hole at every corner, i think its like 3"x3", and exhaust outlet is a triangular flange

You have a pic?

there ya go
