there are threads on boosted cars here- it works
ck performance section for details

your trans is the weak point with 2nd and 3rd gear clutchpacks being the sore spot
get them hot and its increased wear,,at a very high rate

not much you can do besides try the new honda atf or use a mix of redline street and racing atf
you lose some smoothness but better lubrication

you may do better with a new thread and title it, boost- how much can I run?

instead of general `Help` as title,,get the experts on spray and turbos here

iirc phee is up on that stuff, PM him
smartypants is another running spray
