Really? I can not believe you actually said this.

I do not want to even get into a back and forth bicker with you about this Travis, but that statement is down right wrong on so many levels.

I forgot, we either idle or go WOT. Nothing in between. Nothing over 10% throttle, but if you do you must go to 85% or more.

Really? You want to go there with me. You picked one sentence out of everything I said to comment on? Wonder why that is. Please the only thing anyone ever says good about an F/IC is part throttle. That's it end of story.

Thus holding true to my statement:

F/IC is to be sure you got a smooth drive to the grocery store.

Ultimate is to be sure you aren't staring at the other guys tail lights.

PS....part throttle is overrated. Yea I spend most of my drive at 10% throttle and 5psi of boost...lol

I drive normal like every other human being when it comes to driving on the street
If I want to feel something or a bit of a rush while driving, it ain't going to be done at 10% throttle...LOL. And surely I'm not street racing someone at part throttle..LOL. So, for me, that only leaves part throttle for passing cars on the interstate. Yea that's SO a feature I'm going to pick over the ultimate. I just got to have that passing car smoothness more than anything...bahaaa.

This is one of my favorite Mark Twain quotes of all time.

"Better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt."

When you find a way to install two turbo kits onto one Scion....give me a call...

3 against 1...fine by me. Here I'll make it more blunt for you.

F__ the F/IC garbage. Is that clear enough for you?

Just busting your *****...laugh a little...lol.

Weren't there a bunch of Turbo Toyota fans on this forum? What kit is on Brett's car? I rest my case. If you going to try and pull that card for a position I had 3 years ago, then you need to apply it to all.

QFT...

Brett's Congrats you can beat me 1 out of three type of racing events (drag), the other two being Road Course and AutoX. But if I disappeared from the forums for a substantial period of time, when I returned my car would not be the same either. For whatever personal reason you went silent for I don't know, that's your personal life. I'm still here though, and I have did a complete 180 with my car to go a completely different direction. Your little "oh you don't have boost right now" remarks mean nothing to me. I have scrapped my direction and started from scratch basically. That's nothing to be ashamed of. So enough seriously. You have a built short block from ZPI, and a turbo kit from Turbo Toyota's, yet I'm the one who gets the 3yr old card played....by 3min3..

So for someone who is about to go boost 1st time on a tc, and has a aem fic.. Should I keep it and buy a pnp harness or sell it and get the ultimate? It is my daily driver and will only be doing 7-9psi probably.. Yes im a noob, but let me know.. ;P

Ex ZPI 20g turbo setup. PTuning RS turbo setup will be on this season as soon as I make my Wifey and two sons happy.

Meantime N/A (as if you didn't already know). I can honestly say that I have enjoyed my track experiences being N/A than I ever did being just a street racer on boost. So when the kit goes on this season, it will just be icing already on a nice cake. Your slicks are just the two front wheels. I have to run them on all 4.

so the simple answer to my simple question would be, you have no turbo on your car, right?
