I'll agree, you're posting up a storm, haha. Jimmy at the shop is an awesome guy. My friend even got to drive his Skyline(cuz the police wouldnt let Jimmy drive it with his suspended license). But it was sick none-the-less. I'm sure the work you have done there would be top notch. I'm guessing you're having Al flash t too?

My friend said it wasnt that bad, but he stalled it a few times..haha. I sat in it when we got to his house and just felt it and I'd surely mess up with the left hand shifting

Chaz, the IX turbo is a good upgrade, but it should have been at the bottom of the list after getting all the normal bolt-ons and supporting mods. YOu need cams far more than you need to upgrade the turbo to a IX. Cams will give you a bigger power gain in WHP and WTQ while costing about the same or less: $450 for the cams and should be $150-200 to install.

Whitersevo, I hope you're making great power, but I do not believe that Vivid's dyno reads low. They try to tell customers that, but when an Evo puts down 332whp and traps 105, it makes you wonder, because an Evo putting down 332 on Buschur's MD would trap 114-116mph...
