Lumbar puncture results are in... Not what we wanted to see and I'll probably be in hospital for another 2 weeks minimum and another 2 lumbar punctures. Pressure in my spine has dropped but is still over double what it should be and white blood cells have doubled since last lumbar puncture, where they were already too high.

Starting to really play on my mind now which is why I'm talking about it.

On the plus side my private room balls harder than jay-z's bank account so at least that's something :/

We still can't find the cause. It's most likely to be a virus we don't have a test for yet. And there is no prevention possible.

Leading theory is I was near some asshole that sneezed and caught it that way however the virus made its way into my spine/brain somehow. This happens fairly often (meningitis) however I copped the less common meningoenciphilitis which is of course worse.

Oh and in reference to the dog vs cat discussion we had a couple years back, my dog has sat on the top of the couch looking out the window waiting for me all day and all night for the last 2 weeks.

Every. Single. Day.

Stick that in your cat and smoke it

I dunno, I don't mind cats at all, they smell less, break less of your shit and kinda look after themselves...

Probably best not to ask Alvin, Jonoe, Tony, etc which they prefer...

What would be the rough cost of re-spraying my front bar if I remove it and disassemble my self? In northern suburbs - any suggestions?

Problem is if it's off the car, they'll have trouble color matching and blending to make it look right :/ If you don't mind, and provide them with the paint codes, I dunno maybe $3-400?

Are you capable of prepping the bar yourself? Sanding, Primer, etc? 75% of the work is in the prep...

Good point, I didn't think they'd have to really blend considering it's a different panel. I guess I'd just take the whole car in, I just don't trust some of the shops around here a)working on my car b)having access to the keys/alarm/etc for "later use" :/

    • Because there is still an engine underneath that turbo. PSI is not a measurement of power, it's a byproduct of resistance. What would be really decent is to have a CFM gauge on the output of a turbo to see how much it's actually pushing. 21psi (as an example) is not the same amount of air at 3000rpm as it is at 7000rpm, even if the boost controller is controlling boost at "21psi". The engine is inhaling and exhaling way more air at 7000 than at 3000, even if it's less efficient.
    • don't want anything more or less, I don't really understand why the torque still goes up to 6000-6500, while the boost peak is around 4000. if it only comes from the cams or from the boost controller etc.  
    • I'm not sure you understand the physics of what you are asking. Can you draw on the dyno graph what you want to have happen? I'm thinking this is a functional impossibility here, unless you chose a turbo literally so laggy that torque is at max at 7000rpm and artificially choked prior to that. Power and Torque are intrinsically linked. Power is just Torque over time. What you're really seeing in the torque graph is "Power per RPM" if that makes any sense whatsoever. You still get more power at 7000rpm than 5000rpm, because it is "power per RPM" and you have more RPM. at 7000 than you do at 5000. You still feel more powerful at 7000rpm. The torque graph will influence the rate of power increase per RPM.
    • Welcome!  If possible,  would live to see some pics. How long was it away getting the work done? Hopefully it feels like a new machine.
    • yes indeed the graphic format makes a visual difference but there is on average 120nm more between 4000 and 6000rpm on the curves it is not nothing. you are right, the cams influence the torque curve. I was able to chat with one of the Hypergear tuners, he confirmed that a boost control allows you to manage the pressure after the spool. the absolute pressure (psi) on the graphics is measured where? It seems that the cams affect the maximum pressure depending on the regime but I may be wrong.   not pleasant to drive before 4000? if we spend our lives between 1000 and 3000 rpm as you say then we might as well just run diesel turbos
