It's not at all that I'm scared of it breaking. I just never usually have a reason to. I do give it some throttle on occasion to hear the turbos sing to wind down after work, nothing more than 4 or 5psi. I only go all out when I'm showing off the Z to a friend, I've found another car worth wasting a little gas on, or some semi on the interstate won't get out of right lane for me to merge on in heavy traffic. And even then, it's usually my base boost of around 10psi. The time I raced a Murcielago (rare find, couldn't resist) or when I hit the strip are the only times I can remember using much above base boost - 18+psi (very cold night on pump gas), and 21.5psi on race gas, respectively. However, I suspect that once my conversion to 5spd is complete, I may get on it a bit more - auto is pretty much boring ;) Kez
