Will probably get an F90 in a few years when they become a little cheaper.

I completely agree. I don't have it in me to get rid of the f10, but If something happened to it I wouldn't buy another fast car until the f90 came down in price.

yep, thought of your post right after it happened. These cars are no joke.

I really like the GTRs especially since they can be ran on E85. Would love a manual but the fact that 2010s with 50k miles are still going for $50k+ is beyond me.

The GTR is a very tuneable car but very poundland aswell. Each to their own but my next fast car will be an F90 M5 or newish E63s. Unless the new RS6 steals my heart when it is released, I'll then have to wait for those to come down in price.

If you (or anyone) is interested in following along, I'll be doing a YouTube channel for my E36 build. It will be a no expenses spared streetable track car with a built engine and 30 lbs of boost

my power goal is 700

That will be a lethal machine. Leave a link when you get it set up and I'll definitely follow.

I'm going to properly plug these tomorrow and check back.

Fingers crossed this is the issue!

Hey, I have a boost leak or it feels super sluggish and it was not before and I am fully straight piped (even resonator and muffler delete by fabspeed), the guy that did the resonator delete as well as the fabspeed install did an amazing job; however, reading this concerns me... I do not have valves, so where is this vacuum line you speak of? I have also done all the work on my car including install of the catless downpipes and the plugs and coils and the cold air, is there a vacuum line in there that could be loose? I have a stage 2 JB4tune also.
