Hehe this is very long, but I need to express my happiness 
To start off I've owned an NA for 2 years it defintely had some power, I guess it was "quick" not necessarily fast. Anyways when it shit the bed I got me the turbo car I always wanted. This was in September last year, I've been messing around with the car trying to fix all the problems since then.
I got the car running and drove it around for a few weeks. It had about as much power as my old car, I figured it was because it was a low compression engine with not much boost (maybe 5psi). Anyways I let a friend drive it one day, and he told me that I definitely had a misfire (it was open downpipe, so i figured the exhaust sound was messed up). I started checking out the ignition and long story short I was only firing on 4 cylinders.
Spent half a day fixing that up and took it for a drive. It pulled like never before through 1st and then died. Got out to check the problem and I blew off one of my IC pipes. I couldn't have been prouder. About 3 more pulls and I kept blowing off lines. Finally got it all tightened down, and the car pulled so hard constantly holding 11psi, I was smoking my tires through 3rd gear and the backend got squirrely. My peak-hold said I had hit 14psi.
This is 7 months after I bought the car, and I never knew it would be this fast. I was driving around on 4 cylinders and still thought it was fast. Its almost too much man for me. I'm so proud teehee.
