Video: Track Day at Homestead with NASA 3/24/2012
Here's a video from this weekend (3/23-24/2013) at Homestead-Miami Speedway with NASA. Running stockish boost the second day, because the first day was essentially a throw away, troubleshooting a 30FF (Underboost) condition. Finally found the issue, Forge diverter valve hose (connecting to charge pipe) had a micro-crack that opened up on the back side. Hard to find, fixed it after the fist day, but decided to run stockish boost to not force things. I say stockish because it was around 10-11 PSI to run some 50/50 water/meth for cooling (not power), it was hot 86-92 degrees this weekend and humid.
Anyways, the video plus some pictures with the new Apex EC-7 9.5 all around (fitment is perfect) with Hankook TD's 265/35/18 (they're almost a 275 with 272mm section width). I got those tires, just because I was curious, wanted to try them out (soft compound), may try the hard compound next just to compare. Video Also some random fun during the event (Harlem Shake) Pictures -- credit the on-track pictures to @Maeiourk for taking them, very cool of him.

The EC7s are great, the fitment in the back with the 58mm is spot on, I'm significantly lower than stock (fenders rolled myself) and the 265 fits nicely, probably have another 10mm back there to play with also. The wire's the mic that's routed from the inside to the back of the car (through the panels). Funny the picture with the mini's on the pace lap just as we got the green, but yea he's a buddy of mine and likes to have fun.

The second day, I spent it more fine tuning the car from the 30FF. In the video above, I think you can tell there's a point where I have to clear codes. But she's hopefully better now.

Think I found the other reason for my under-boost during my last track day. Two things at the same time, kinda weird, but guess these are tings to check for. Pipe/coupler from IC outlet into the pipe connecting the IC and charge-pipe (yes, it's beat down as well).
Also, new garage toy, it was free and it works

For anyone curious, then new coupler solved the second part of the problem. But, it had been a while, so I replaced all three couplers with new ones ( with THESE ). They also have different ones, I just got them red, because racecar .. lol (HERE). Also replaced all t-bolt clamps (source locally) with new ones, can't really hurt. Washed out the IC, Charge-pipe, DV's all that good stuff. Hopefully I should be good for a while now.
