I never thought I would see the day...10,000 posts...lol, wOw I'm a loser...



Hard to believe back in '01 I was such a n3wb logging in reading about boost and turbo's...seemed so complicated and out of reach back then...

I have learned so much here in GB.
Thanks all..

First off, congrats on the post milestone. 10,000 seems impossible to me, though if I'm at the same point you were back in '01, I can only hope I come somewhat close to what your knowledge/experience is now a few years down the road.

So, now that my sappy bastard paragraph is done--back when you first registered w/ ClubSi, exactly how much of a newb were you? I'm curious because from what I understand, you got to where you are today through the GB board, research, and H-T how to's. It'd help me--along w/ plenty others I'm sure--to get more confidence to get my feet wet, because although I'm soaking up a $hit-ton of info both here and elsewhere on the net, the prospect of actually starting my first turbo build is still intimidating as hell.


Anyways, enough of that. Congrats on the milestone, and thanks for providing endless info in the GB forum. It's much appreciated.

Trust me...I was the biggest n3wb.

I was all about swapping a 5speed in my auto Ex...lol...then doing a b16a2 swap from the Si, which I was obsessed about..which I never did b/c I sold the car to by the Si.

The extent of my engine mods were a fart can and an eBay intake..lol..

It took me, my cousin and a friend 8+hrs to do coilovers on my Ex back when..lol....we had no idea and fumbled through it...

I was always afraid of "hurting" or breaking something..now I just smile, knowing how much fun it will be when it's complete...

The more I read and understand, the more I realize I don't know, this field evolves so fast...what is right today, is old news tomorrow...

Wow 10,000. That's crazy. We joined in the same year and I have yet to break 1,000.

I remember when you went from the EX to Si and reading about your first turbo setup and how that turned out. I was such a newb back then too. Back then I thought superchargers were better and didn't know what a wastegate was.

Though my setup is very mild, I have a very clear understanding of whats going on now and bypassed all the blue box, hack, fmu crap and went straight to a chipped ECU and wideband. I have this forum and H-T to thank for that.

Thanks for the knowledge!

yeah, i think we've all been there. some may still be there. i used to think greddy turbo kits for the b16 was good for like over 400 whp. then i picked up an Import Tuner mag this morning and Max Boost said it's only good for like 250. boy was i disappointed... Max Boost FTW!
