    G8 goes to Nelson Performance this morning in South San Antonio to get the fuel system all sorted out.
    Rest in Peace Charlie!

    Just curious why you say the NA route was faster than turbo or LSA. Did it feel faster pulling through the RPM band compared to the FI routes?

    Intake air temps get too high. Loses power.

    Did the leather conditioning treatment. The stuff in a jar (Obenauf?) lasts longer than the spray on stuff (Mequiars) but takes more elbow grease to apply.

    Yesterday i drove out with my g8. Then anytime 2 cars before me was a Porsche GT3. He was driving sporty and overtook all cars before him. If traffic allowed it, i tried to stay behind him when he accellerated . The distance was constant. I must say it was always between 60 - 140 km/h on the road. Not faster. I love my car.

    G8 is still at Nelson Performance. Seems the Vaporworx isn't working. Call into Carl this morning while I'm at Nelson.
    Rest in Peace Charlie!

    Just curious but what size intercooler were you running with the turbo setup?

    Hopefully you can get the fueling issues squared away!
