This forum is a life saver! and hello

I have been lurking on this forum for a couple of months, back in June I bought a 2010 HHR SS 5-spd. I drove 6 hours from Maryland to Massachusetts to buy it. This was the only vehicle I found that fit my criteria of being fun, fast, manual and able to fit a whole family with stroller and groceries. I was also looking at Subaru forester XT's and Subaru Legacy GT wagons. But, I couldn't find any turbo 5-speed Subaru's with under 100,000 miles on them.

Heres a picture. It came with the GMPP upgrade. But it was suffering from terrible boost loss. I soldered the TMAPs and flipped the lower TMAP and I have been shredding tires without issue since.

thanks for the warm welcome. I am probably going to have to replace my tires sooner than later. One of them i think has a slow leak.
