Mark...we use the car mainly for weekend driving and plan to ship her to Zeebrugge Belgium next summer for a road trip. We had planned on doing it this summer but were unable to find the car we wanted in time to secure the trip. This is partly why I am interested in knowing its limits. This next year also gives me a chance to make sure she is in top running form and has any flaw corrected. I agree, the stock turbos seem fine with the cars current setup. As it is, I have removed the NOS bottle from the car---I have no plans to use it although the previous owner told me it only worked from off the line for about 7 seconds. As soon as the car hit 10PSI the NOS disengaged as part of the JWT programming. I haven't driven the car much in the 2 weeks we have had it, NJ police are an unforgiving sort. I keep the boost to about 12 because I thought anything higher would damage the pistons although the few times I did let it spike 15, aside from the power, I didn't hear or feel anything negative so I am leaving it set to 15 for now. What is a "wideband o2"? I read in the receipts the previous owner replaced the o2 sensors as part of the 120k service even though she has 110k miles. Soon I will not be able to driver her at all---snow is around the corner. I emailed Racelogic for a set of instructions on installing the TracLoc system, I want to read it before I buy so I can know if this is something I can do, or not. I prefer to do things myself when possible. That way I can take my time, solder all connections, use heat shrink tubing and feel comfortable with the job. I am looking into an alarm and went to Best Buy to get pricing. They told me they use the "wrap n tape" method to connect alarm wires to factory wires. Needless to say---I walked out. I need to either learn the cars electrical system FAST or find a shop who will use solder or at the very least "butt connectors" without asking me to bend over ans say "ahhhhh". By the way, my name is David---and as for being too fast, just until I get a handle on it or get the TracLoc installed! I may take you up on your email offer so be prepared! Thanks for your help.---Dave
