Tell of your most exhilarating boost moment
have any of you ever had that moment when your just happy to have boost.. here's mine..
i was driving on the highway the other nite,and i just had some upgrades done.. i was cruising about 50 at 1AM in the morning
and road was pretty empty. i said what the hell let me boost.. and hit the pedal and the front wheels spun out , pulled the car to the side, whipped out the back like it was rear wheel drive and took off.. oh-my-god..i took my foot off the pedal with that look in my eye, i was in love..
what a good nite sleep i had that nite.. now i know why i invest so much money into my car . these freakin max's are one hell of a car to hook up..

"GAWD DAMN that thig is fast, and is one hell of a sleeper. We went from a stop, I jumped out, then he comes creeping up, then see you later. I heard that thing spool up and I knew I was in trouble. Watch out south Austin boys, it will give you one hell of a run. The car is a black Maxima, 95-99 model, with dual A pillar gauges, and some older guy driving."
I like that last part about the older guy driving.
He was probably more surprised about that than by being beaten by a Maxima.

There was the time when I was lined up with a Porsche 928 at a light. It was a three laner just before rush hour and he was in the curb lane and I was in the center lane of the 3 lanes. I knew he was going to gun it and then pull up in front of me. Well, I would have none of that and just stomped it when the light turned green. He ran out of room in the curb lane and had to stop because of parked cars. I was side by side with him and gave him no quarter. My buddy riding with me sure got a kick out of that!

my favorite boost moment was when my waste gate was setup incorrectly and i was boosting 15 psi 
it was awesome though. i had only went to about 2000-2500 rpm in first gear then shifted to second and gave it full throttle. the tires just started spinning and i was like wtf?!? turned around down the road and gunned it in first and the noise from the turbo was just insane and the tires broke loose yet again. i couldn't figure out what was going on so i checked my s-afc and it read a knock of 200+. that freaked me out but i didn't know why it was happening so i turned around down the road again and watched the boost gauge. put it in second gear at a low rpm and gave it full throttle. boost gauge quickly shot up to 15 psi and the tires broke loose yet again. it was a very scary moment but it was awesome. i can't wait to get the aftercooler on this thing so i can keep it at 15 psi.

Well I was taking iansw car on a test drive, just after we put the 3.125 pulley on. Was driving down the freeway, decided to drop into 3rd at about 60 and just let her boost. However, I had forgotten that there was a very popular speed trap coming up on the freeway. After I passed it, I realized that there was a speed trap. Slowed down and moved the right lane on the freeway. Then I decide to get off the freeway, and as I get off, a Washington State Patrol car goes speeding by with lights and everything in the left lane. Keep in mind this exit is like maybe a mile away from the speed trap. Very exhilerating....but at the same time, scared me ****less because it wasn't my car.

I have alot of those stories, let me a pick a couple
cruising about 9PM and I run into a WS6. The guy was laughing at me and my brother and I roll down the window and point forward. I downshifted and off we went. Pulled on him almost instantly. He could not believe it. Loving my turbo set up.
W/the SCer setup I got dusted many times by this SCed Z28. After I got my turbo up and running I raced this guy three more times. He got me 3 out of 3 but just the fact that I was able to hang at his doors was just enough to put a big smile on my face. That car is very fast.

My most exhilarating moment was back in early 1998 (or maybe late 1997...that period of time was just a rush for me) when I was running my turboed VW Bug down PCH 1 (from LA area) towards Pt. Hueneme Naval Weapons test Facility, gunned it to pass this old bastard in a station wagon, and had my flywheel seperate from the crank (at ~6000 RPM in third gear). I literally thought I was rammed by the old guy in the station wagon, until I realized my engine was no longer running (and I was trailing all kinds of debris and fluid...and smoke...and fire). Needless to say, the car was totaled. I'm lucky that I didn't get killed...

45 minutes later you come back into the driveway.
Best moment? Last weekend. G35c with rims and Exhaust tried to cut me off....from 65 all the way to 130mph or so.....8 car lengths.
Slowed down, and I got a "ricer flyby" from a G35c!! I thought those guys had more class.
He's probably looking to sell his car right now because he thought it was fast.

mine : BOV went off right in front of two cops who just pulled over a car on the other side of the road. Yup, they stopped what they were doing. Yup, they stepped forward and looked for which car was responsible for that WOOSH noise.
my BOV went off aftering smoking this riced-out integra and I let off the pedal after I saw these two cops.

In my own car - beating that modded Z06.
In any car - riding shotgun with the video camera in my buddy's TT 350Z and smacking the 996 Turbo next to us after the broad in the passenger seat got done saying "It's not even worth it... this is a PORSCHE that's a NISSAN. Don't even try it." I think after they got a 3 car hit and we ran them down, the guy probably told his girl to STFU in the fiture.
Both of these are on video.

back then when i had my boosted civic (built singal cam with t3/04E at 20psi 
) my tires would break loose from 1st all the wya to 4th redline. Suprised many ricers and a lot of M3/Evolution/STI/Supra/GT/240s and such.
When i was trying to sell the civic i took some kid out for a test drive (me driving , of course lol), i stomp it in 1st gear and the kid got scared and grabbed the "oh ****" bar as quick as he can, i took it all the way to 3 digit :P . on the way back he (same goes to a lot of other ppl) said they`ve rode in so many turbo honda and never thought it could be as fast as mine...i`ve never been happier then hearing that.
Boost is additive. and that`s why i am going to boost the maxima
