Haha...I agree after seeing your results...BUT I still think the HKS turbo would be a great choice also...

Ding.

As far as the HKS turbo goes, I am not impressed. I have made 420 whp on the stock 8 turbo on our dyno. No need to spend 2k for 20-30 more hp. I am a pretty big fan of the red. I may give Robert a call soon for one. We have a new toy to play with now and I really do not want to spend a ton on this one.

We went silver this time around. We did the all black look last year. Time to change things up.

I'm with you Emery on the turbo. Curt's Green just put down 573 whp, can't argue with that. The Red is my favorite!

Excellent engine bay, excellent power chart. I absolutely love the clean and colorful engine work.

Maybe I should contact FP and see when they want to test the FP Purple...

I think it's going to need a billet anodized purple compressor wheel.

That would be cool.

The JDM tails and bumper look super sick. It's going to be a long time before another import car is this intense and important. Cars like this give Evo's a good name.

have you guys picked which coilovers to go with? or is that still on the pending list? I remember the color purple being a factor in which coilovers to choose.

Wow, thank you. That really means a lot to us.

We decided on the d2's again. Different spring rates than before. The drag set up was in there.
