Well I just took my 240 (sr20det) out and max boosted it down my street. I didnt notice that someone had played with my boost controller and it was set at about 15 lbs. It is the stock t25 turbo. When I pulled into my driveway, I pressed the gas some and smoke was coming out of my exhaust. It didnt drive different or sputter when ideling. Could it be my head gasket or does anyone have any other ideas?

What color was the smoke? How did it smell? ... a few more details would help.

Thats why I dont allow idiots and retards in my car. Remember the BIG RED BUTTON that is never to be pushed? Yeah, retards and idiots like to fuck with flashy objects such as boost controllers, SAFC's and whatever else your throne has surronding it. Like stated above, more specs will help.

(by retards, I ment another form of idiot. No offense to anyone.)
