    Getting nitrous bottle powdercoated? any problems?

    no way, he will blow the floor pan bolts! I am not sure if the heat would hurt it but if I had a possible bomb in the back of my car I would just paint it not powdercoat it. You can get the bottle pressure tested after powdercoating if you really wanted to be sure it was ok still. Most...

    Isc bad?

    hmmm, 500 is too low and 900 is too high. Do you hear the isc make a clicking sound when you turn the car off? ISC's can go bad but it is less common then a bad tps. Check for codes?

    Aaron's turbo & maft pro upgrades

    haha, I know very well how just buying a house can be a LOT of work, and then comes the remodeling, i'm getting tired and broke just thinking about it! The adaptor you mentioned, do you mean for the downpipe? I noticed that the bolts with the wastegate are a little too long but otherwise it...

    15psi on regular 87 octane gas?!? I will say a short prayer for your engine tonight.

    Capacitor

    edit: <removed rant> Ok, without me getting all huffy, an Optima battery will help with lights dimming as much as a cap, plus it has a higher amp hour rating then a standard battery, plus it will not leak, plus it costs less then a good 1 farad cap. Maybe your car audio system makes...

    That's where the battery upgrade comes in. A good battery like an Optima has more capacitance then a standard battery and will charge quicker and handle higher output amperage spikes without dropping voltage.

    Exactly. Spend the money on a bigger amplifier instead of a cap.

    I don't think "boosts like crazy" qualifies as "stock to slightly over stock boost levels".

    If the alternator could hande the extra load the lights would not be dimming. Good quality amplifiers have plenty of capacitance built in. Another vote for upgrading the alternator and battery and forget the cap.

    this is the wierdest thing

    It is not a good idea to run regular on a turbo because it could cause pinging or detonation under boost. So yeah everything seems fine until you punch it hard on a hot day and really bad things start happening quick! The only way I could see it affect the gas milage is maybe because the ecu is...
