With that said, the water/alcohol makes alot of sense and I'll put it on someday, I just don't really feel a need to turn the boost up because I get enough tickets already and beat essentially 99% of the cars on the road as it is

That's after only about 5k miles I'd guess. Sucks that the engine is down again because of that, but in all honesty it'd need to get rebuilt again anyway since a crap tune I had (for about 3 months) warped the apex seals in my rear rotor.

Funny thing is though, I still made basically 470whp with low compression, bad rear seals, and a weak side seal. I'm VERY curious to see how much I'll make with everything working as it should.

I'm also at stock boost on a relatively stock engine (just bolt-ons, emissions deleated and PFC). I have less than $300 in my system and it's pretty low key, using stock WS washer tank (I can PM you a link on another form with pictures if interested). Bought everything and then procrastinated for over a year.
I guess my point is...I understand that "someday" thing, but I wouldn't delay getting it just because your still at stock boost. In the summer I used to see spikes of 10 C or more after rowing hard through the gears getting on the freeway. Now...maybe 2 or 3 C. and that's with it set to come on at 2 psi.

Sure - thanks

Then I mis-understood you earlier. You should definitely get a kit.
