I guess it all depends on what you use the car for. Bigger turbo can obviously put down impressive dyno numbers and awesome quarter mile times. But it may cause drivability issues for the street and controllability on the road course.

In the next few years, if you know you'll visit Norwalk much more often than Nelson, get the bigger turbo. Otherwise, I'm sure a GT30 is plenty good for your needs.

A 2.3 w/ a 35r is a freaking blast on the street. Anything smaller just doesn't have a big enough sack to hang with that motor and a healthy set of cams.

I have some new hotness I'm building now, you guys will need to stop down and check it out in about 2 weeks.

You've been busy, Mike? How's the car running?

We have informal dinner meetings almost every week. It'll be great if you can join us.

That kit isn't coming out quite yet, a couple issues popped up and the owner isn't very capable of helping to sort them out. A bad situation all around unfortunately.

I was referring to this...

We should do another Quaker meet. Those were always good times, even when it was just you and me and some wings.

Shearer - Did you guys move, or am I thinking of the wrong place? I seem to remember coming to your shop on the Eastside a few years back.

Anyone else's Evo getting *** mileage in the winter? I was 3/4 empty so I filled up and got ~ 16.5 mpg driving spiritedly, but not hammering it .
