Well, turbo doesn't go from 0-13 psi instantly. But if I do a quick acceleration from 0 it won't get to 13, but If I keep going to say 100-110 mph it will. If I keep the throttle down it will just keep spooling up to 13 psi. So I need to adjust the wastegate so that when it gets that high the spring is loose enough that it releases the air so the turbo doesn't spool up any higher. right now I just let off the gas a bit and the blow off relesases the boost and it drops too say 5 psi and starts spooling agin. This way I keep it under 10 psi. But I dont' want to keep doing that. I want the wastegate to stop it from spooling over 10 psi.

Also....I'm quite frustrated to learn that my car has a governor that won't let me go over 126 mph. I hit that so fast...Anyone know how to get my car go faster than that?

Also here is a video...it still sux but promise ill get better ones later. This was getting ona high way So I got stuck behind some cars then passed them when I had room to merge.

Speed wise? No probably not. They get a little wobbly at that speed when i brake. That's one of my next things. New rims and wheels. But I'll probably wait till spring(and try to resist going fast)

racing and going fast is all about accelerating....thats what makes it fun lol, so just smash thru the gears and then lay off once you get to 80
