Kayak's suggestion is worth investigating for sure, but the first thing that came to my mind was your DV. Are you still runnin the stock DV?

So time for an update..
Bday treated me real well as i got a forge 007 and the k&n filters I've been wanting to do the filter mod. The stock dv did not want to come out at all and made it seem way too easy when I put the 007 in. I LOVE the sound of my engine now though, I really wasnt expecting too much of a difference but its got a nice throaty tone and the fact that the spool/dv "whoosh" is actually audible now makes my day
Overall it was definitely worth it, just gotta fab myself up a heat shield and call it a day!
Since I got my 007 i finally put my giac chip in and I immediately could tell the turbo spooled up faster and it put a big smile on my face the way it pulled compared to before. The only thing thats keeping me from being completely satisfied is the fact that I cant get over 12 psi which is just a little more than I could reach stock. From everything else I've seen giac chips peak at about 18 and then hold around 14-15, so does anyone know why my boost seems low?
On a side note though, wanted to say thanks to kayakman for the led to replace my ugly old bulb!

So it's taken me forever to finally get these up but here they are!
I did this a few months back because my armrest was all ripped up and I couldnt take it anymore so i decided to use that as my excuse to liven up my interior. I know plaid doesn't do it for everyone but personally I love it every single time I step into the car.

Excellent job! I'm going to do a black/silver/gray plaid (if you see any somewhere let me know!) and I'm hung up on doing it diagonal lines like yours or parallel with the trim lines.
Those came out very nice though!
