The whole 1.8T puny injector debacle

[mkii@nycap.rr.com (Josh Able)]

I totally admit my car is running at max capacity, there isn't any agreement
about that.

My issue is when people say it isn't possible to produce those numbers, when
they say the dyno is faked, etc.

There is no question that Im at the max, most people with this set up run
less than 15 pounds of boost.

People aren't saying it "isn't safe" they are point blank calling me, and
assorted 1.8t tuners liars.

It all boils down to the fact I don't wrench shit myself, that's where many
of the doubters get their jollies off by bashing a car that they don't
understand themselves.
