turbo + long trips

[Chinky]

was wondering how the car would do on long trips on the freeway. making my way back home and it's about a 12hr drive. anything i should look out for or do before this trip?

I have taken my car to Austin a few times, no issues. Just bring some extra oil, and a few tools just in case. Make sure your boost couplers are in good condition cuz blowing one out miles from home would suck!

Make sure its tuned too :)

16 hours to and back, not an issue with the integra. Minus an armadillo :)

you should only be in boost when you are accelerating... or under load... like goin up a huge hill... otherwise you shouldnt be in boost or + mani pressure coasting down the freeway...

GL on the trip, at least the weather will be cool.

Cause in the middle of the summer going up hills you could start to overheat a lil, just ask Hush22@cox.net lol :rflmao::rflmao:

piggyback's are not my cup of tea. some love them, some hate them. you're just better off with a real tune (hondata). just my opinion.

Unless you are tuned on something different.
