Maybe a boost leak?
That's maybe what I didn't do? Well shouldn't the PSI start immediately?

Thanks! A lot of my teachers are saying that now. I'm signed up for an Engineering and Applications class for next year, should be fun. Yeah, I mean, sometimes cars can be pretty basic. I'm sure there are some limitations, but its pretty basic. Most everything is 12v, Air needs to get from PointA to PointB, I mean what more can you need? That's how I did the RIP kit for 10 bucks, foglights for super cheap. Spoiler and everything.

Let me know what you need. I'm workin on the badges tonight.

Boost Guage.

I'm still in the process of making it sink cleaner and farther in. I need to use a dremel . I like the placing of this cause it makes things a lot cleaner looking.

This is a picture of the Volvo "R" that everyone loves. I have seen them use the slanted one that you show above. Not sure what font it is. I've tried to find it, just having a hard time.

Maybe someone can take a clean, straight picture of theirs and post it.

even with these, I'll have to convert it to a monochrome picture because black and white works the best when engraving in plastic.

I have 2 new things for you ladies today.

First:
The keychain picture.

Is this better? Any suggestions before I make the cut?

Second:
Boost Guage!

I want sleeper status on my car, so I went for the clean look and the look that other people can't see from outside the car. I am still in the process of illuminating it though. I wish there was a black one to fit more with my car, but I couldn't find one when I was buying. Oh well. I'm currently riding on 12-LBS of boost, 15 spike when it shifts.

I'm going to be tinting my windows soon. 35% in the front, 25% in the back.

Looks good......
Try centering the "R" between the ring hole and the volvo symbol. see how that looks?

Sell your gauge and buy one from egauges.com.....

For the tint.....I would go 20% all around....I have that and it looks good, but it is the wagon, sedan would appear darker.....
