Holset HX35. I have a few DSM friends running them and laying down 500+ whp with a very manageable spool time. The whole setup cost me $600 and a few hours of welding time (the mani is junk and needs to be reinforced).

I did have the MAFT but I never got the damn thing to work properly after a week of fooling with it so I sold it. Someone else can deal with it now. I couldn't get rid a bucking under load no matter what I did with the dials unless I threw the stock ECU map back in. It would have required a lot of retuning that I didn't want to undertake. I had hoped to just zero it out and eliminate the MAF but going SD would be better.

yeah I have a few friends running them. They work really well and are cheap.. Although for a few hundred more you could be running a sick Borg Warner turbo, which is what I am planning on doing over the winter..

I will let you know about the speed density, and help you out if I can or at least give you some pointers.. Just waiting for the omni 4 bar and temp sensor

I will probably upgrade to something better down the line but I'd like to do a 4G64 conversion first then see where it stands. This came up at the last minute so I decided to jump on it. I was looking for just a 20G but I think I might be a size queen after all. I regret going back to a stockish setup but I thought I was going to trade it in last spring. The 16G is fun but I'm never happy until it's undrivable and I'm broke.

Which car?

I've driven the Maroon Car maybe twice this year, and I probably won't race it unless it's just a Thursday night at Atco sort of thing.

I like tinkering with the Evo, but I've discovered that I really like it to be quiet, since I'm almost 36 now.

Beers sound great - if I could just drag my butt the 5 miles to one of the Oaks meets... I'll be picking your brain since I came late to this Evo party! :-)

Dek, wow I didn't realize you were so full of medical knowledge. What do you do for a living?

I guess I should say more of throat 'procedures' vs surgery but w.e. I am having a tonsillectomy next friday. I have alread had sinus surgery, and 2 monomotry's (spelling) done. I just recently had the esophogeal dilation to no avail. So after the tonsil procedure there are going to try the dilation again with a botox injection to paralyze the top esophogeal muscle (apparently its 50% stronger than it shud be).

Basically I have symptoms of consistent mucus/post nasal drip build up in my throat, tightening of the throat, hard to swallow and lump in the throat. Its pretty terrible actually. But it could always be worse.

An ent is doing the work, his name is dr maurits boon out of jefferson hospital. Do you know him or have heard of him? Hopefully all goes well I just want to experience a slight relief!

Dave why u getting rid of those tires already? U had em on for a couple months maybe? I wish they were 245/40 but still tempting for track tires..hmm. May swing by and check em out later ill shoot u a txt.

IDK man, the dealership saw them the other day when i went in for my state inspection. DONT EVER go to the dealer for anything. They *****ed me out about them. They are in great condition but the guy doing the inspection sucked a$$ and had never seen them before. Wouldnt give me my sticker unless i changed them. So i pulled them off and put my Potenzas back on. He also failed me on my state inspection because i needed a new rear wiper blade??? I mean wtf.
Other than that. I loved the those tires, they were friggin amazing. But while there off i might as well try and make some extra coin.

Yea Ryan i got your txt. I can meet up whenever. I could meet you at my garage which is right behind the wawa in Wayne. LMK

Yo son! Are you planning to meet us up for the caravan?

Dave, I hope you have enough tread on the Potenzas to pass inspection. Let me know if you dont.

Dude that sucks as long as the tires are DOT approved and have enough tread it shouldn't matter. I guess he has seen every other tire

The rear wiper is bull**** too. My car didn't even come with one
