Default Now I remember what smooth boost feels like!

Just put the aluminum pistons in, and I have to say.... it's a huge improvement. Let me throw out the obligatory thanks to Stratmosphere for the great customer service and the quick turnaround with the new parts. The install took about 10 minutes, MAX. The hardest part was, as usual, working with the clamps and getting the valves to come out of the hoses. I reccomend keeping the valve in the car and just unscrewing it from the vacuum hose (keep the top part of the valve hanging there and clean it out after you're done). Installing the new parts was a breeze... cleaning out the valves was the most difficult part of that

What I found interesting was that one of my valves was stuck slightly open.. I had been leaking boost the whole time! DAMN! Now it feels like there's no hesitation whatsoever... the boost is right IN-YOUR-FACE.

Forges rule!
