Yup they don't understand that the tC motor is a great platform for boosting.
I've had about 5 ppl tell me already that, i will have to rebuild internals and ish before boosting 10psi, I try and explain to them that it doesn't need
a rebuild at that PSI but ppl like to be cocky and underestimate a boosted tC. Which is fine with me because I'll just spank them once I'm tuned =)

For some reason it seems like the majority of younger people who are driving EVO's and STI's dont know crap about cars...they just hear about how fast THIS and THAT car is and they think its the best....
ppl ____ me off haha
