10.30.2007 Emissions Removed & 10 PSI

With the new exhaust in place, it appeared that I was not able to boost past 6 PSI. What I needed was a Boost Controller. I got the Greddy Profec E-01 from a friend. At the same time I blocked off my ACV (Air Control Valve) and removed my Air Pump for better performance. Doing this resulted in not being able to pass smog. Up the boost to about 10 PSI. Also to note, on 11.12.2007, my red 1989 GTU-S has a blown engine due to oil starvation while I was driving to work. The car is currently sitting in my backyard waiting for parts to be pulled out and then sold.
