I had forgotten that Magic Hat also produces an incredible IPA, robust flavor from start to finish while keeping the bitterness in check. And 90% of Deschutes beers are amazing, anyone have the pleasure of visiting their brewery?

It does on the aa kit due to how it builds boost. No matter what a centrifugal needs power to spin. The aa kit looks good compared to ess with response though. Positive displacement blows them away though. "

You probably don't need them but their solution is trick as the manifold fits in between them. The challenge is really the packaging. Well, then of course the tuning. This is very difficult stuff. "

Sticky created the thread BimmerBoost covers BimmerFest 2013 - Hundreds of pictures/photos and event review.
" I attended Bimmerfest 2013 and this was my first time at Bimmerfest. Why you ask? Well, because Tim who owns BimmerFest banned me from the BimmerFest forum once I started BimmerBoost. Well, bygones are bygones (plus BimmerBoost is too big to try to freeze out now) and this year BimmerFest invited BimmerBoost to attend as a VIP Media Sponsor. I accepted the invitation and drove down to the Rose Bowl to check it out. I am glad I did and I simply have to admit the event is phenomenal.

The sheer size of the event is difficult to capture. It's big, much bigger than I expected. It's bigger than any other BMW event I have ever been to. Honestly, it dwarfs them in the amount of cars, vendors, people, you name it.

I was told to go to a special side media only entrance but since I showed up at around 11:30 AM due to all the traffic that entrance was closed by that point. So, I squeezed my way in the side of the general entrance and was told to pay $20 for parking. Tim told me my entrance was free so I promptly told the guy at the gate I'm Sticky from BimmerBoost.com. After signing a few autographs I was in.

The event was packed. I mean packed. People everywhere. Cars everywhere. Vendors everywhere. It was an awesome sight to behold. I was impressed and almost a bit jealous. I would be quite satisfied if BimmerBoost or a BimmerBoost event got this big one day. I will be going again but there are some things that can definitely be improved.

$5 for a soda? Really? And cash only? That means I had to use the ATM which then on top of that charged me $3.50 to get my own money. So I paid $8.50 for a soda. It's definitely a blatant cash grab which somewhat hurts the grassroots community feel it should have. Perhaps getting a bit too commercial for its good? "

Let's hope so. "

I don't think you need to do hybrid EVERYTHING.

I mean some people would prefer a lighter car to a hybrid car... especially when it comes to a sports car. "
