I think Im turning into a boostaholic :(

3 weeks ago whenever I finished my KA-T, set the boost to about 7psi..
Man.. the car pulls and it felt really fast...

Now, I've noticed that the car doesnt seem to be fast anymore to me...
I punched it, went up to like 120mph today coming home from work... but still.. I didnt feel like the car pulls that hard anymore..

Is this because of the car is actually getting slower... Or is it because Im used to it already?
But last time (last week) I did a pull with my buddy's 14psi SR+boltons, we were dead even.
One thing I noticed now is that the ka-t felt too restrictive in the upper RPM. This if probably because im still running stock 2 inch exhaust. I dont know how a 3 inch exhaust will help but I'll found out soon whenever my exhaust is here (early next month).

I dont know... I'm going to turn up the boost to 9psi this weekend and see how that'll feel. Can't wait to get my car dynoed eventhough Im not that optimistic... according to my butt dyno today, I should prolly make close to 200rwhp...

If all of this is because Im already used to it, then the myth about "once you go turbo, you're going to be a boostaholic (you want more and more boost)" is true.

Sorry for the long post... I just had to spit it out..
I wonder if any of you felt the same way with either your sr, ka-t, rb, etc..
