I would WOT my call all the time on 8psi. Several times per trip, including trips up the street to Subway, etc. On high boost, I'd have to intentionally go out somewhere and plan to do it. Usually 28th St or 275. I don't think that counts in the scope of the original question, though. The car also wasn't a daily driver, so I would have been in a driving mood if I was in it.
Then again, I floor the Element, the old tC, and Altima regularly. Some say I drive too fast.

yeah, my minimum wastegate pressure is 14psi. thats a little extreme for most cases. i usually have to pedal it if i'm merging into traffic.

when im with friends and we are cruising somewhere, well, it gets a little crazy. "cough... art... cough". lol
i love driving my car. im proud of what it has come to be. even though i cant drive it legally.... i hate the dmv.

Only when I'm test n tuning or racing for the most part, c16 is expensive a fuck and once those wastegates crack open gas mileage is 1 to 2 mpg as opposed to 28mpg. I drive the car on weekends only so if it blows it blows while I'm beating on it, I would be pissed if it blew while I was driving it normally like my transmissions do... matt you'll get used to it and comfortable with it, the harder I beat on this morot the more it wants, my motor was supposed to hold 500hp were near the 600whp mark and will hopefully hit it this weekend, motor is being beat to death and asking for more, we might even throw some juice at it, your not going to hurt anything just watch your air fuels and be conscious of your oil, worst your gonna do is break some tranny's.
PS: drippy was a great motor, tranny only lasted my sr a couple weeks though, you must of put a pretty good beating on it before I used it, input shaft and second gear collapsed.
