So having full control over boost from ~3psi to 60psi is a bad thing, okie dokie.

I think MBC are so much smoother than a EBC. I know the big duel solanoids do a much better job than that small GM one we were trying to use.

The 2nd spring will be back in this week now that I can keep the man on E85 .

Have you guy's thought of trying out the AEM solenoid? I've had issues with the GM solenoid leaking past 15 to 20 pounds.

Yes we have thought about it but for now we are using the GM solanoid for low boost no meth and the MBC for our high boost. I think we will be golden once we get the spring back in.

When you hold the Tilton unit complete in your (hand) it feels lighter than a small 6 slice pie from pizza hut LOL. Buschur is currently building mine as we speak with Buschwacker tranny and shep's upgraded t-case LSD.

True, actually Daniel Bushur had removed it from the box and was giving me the run down on the whole set up. The stainless bradied lines that go inside the tranny to the internal slave is superior to all. A true racing clutch it is also a work of art.

Nice choice on the Tilton carbon/carbon..

The best clutch ever in the world.

But, yeah it is the price of a decent used car...

On the plus side, you wont have any clutch issues for a very, very long time, and if you do, it can be rebuilt very cheap.

Whats crazy is my wife had a G35 coupe and loved that car but we had a baby on the way so i said we have to get a 4door she finally agreed. Well it took me about 3 months to convince her that a Evo was a real 4door and was going to be more safe for the baby because it had all wheel drive big brakes and could accelerate fast to get out of bad situations
Well i couldn't stop modding first it was a flash than meth,drag racing,br 35r turbo lol well at the same time i was paying for rentals for her to drive. So she finally said I'm getting another car so i got her a 328i and all is happy now.
I think if i was married to one of my last 2 wives they would have left by now but my wife I'm married to now was raised up on Harley's and track racing so it works out good
