No he's not, and neither is Mike. We were there last night, and brought over a case of beer. The two of them combined barely finished 1 beer. I should be there around 1, since Kittens and the Korean wants to grab some Vietnamese food before heading there. You gonna bring me a six pack?
I'll likely be there all day. Swing by if you can Dan, I know its kinda far for you. But these guys will be able to help us get parts at good prices in the future, so I hope some of you will get to meet the people running the shop

i'd seriously recommend exhaust with the intake. i know it is expensive but exhaust and intake would make it a different car. intake and tune would be fun but not what it would be with an exhaust and might as well throw in an upper intercooler pipe.
whenever i upgrade my turbo which could be next year, its your's and it won't be anywhere near 2k.

i will see how the day goes. i have to bring the dog to the vet because it appears that he has hip dysplasia. this is very bad. i will see how the morning turns out and decide tomorrow if i want to head down to south philly. i want to but depends on how bad the news will be tomorrow.
BTW I am going to try to make it to the t squared thing as long as you guys are still there when I get back from the dyno.. Thankfully sandboy is helping tommorow, mabye set aside a few road sodas or "travlers" for us? kthxbai groundhog day is on the weather channel.. Bill Murray FTW, anyone see "where the buffalo roam"?

The breeder is pretty reputable and we have a contract with her about hips and eyes. She will either take him back (and probably put him in a burlap sack and take a sledge hammer to him while her husband digs a hole) or she will refund us all our money (and he wasn't cheap).

Thanks for keeping me in mind. The 2K is the number for the entire swap list, I'm including labor and any price changes.
Here's the complete required EVO X turbo swap list for the Ralliart according to Eric Jones @ AMS:
Required (a complete turbo assembly off an X should include all of this):
1515A183 (1515A198) Turbocharger 2,022.79
1555A476 Exhaust manifold 514.82
MN119784 Exhaust stud x2 (these will not come out of your Ralliart turbo without breaking) 9.73 x2
1515A150 Turbo Outlet pipe 62.20
1515A184 Turbo to manifold gasket 44.10
1555A289 Turbo to 02 housing gasket 40.37
1555A423 O2 housing 171.77
1225a155 Oil feed line 27.22
1225A181 Oil return line 75.97

1542A042 Inlet elbow 61.08
1515A053 Inlet elbow gasket 10.10
1570B095 Downpipe 304.52 (it would be cheaper just to get an AMS widemouth downpipe instead of stock Evo downpipe and O2 housing)
3078.50 + 27.22 +304.52 total list.
1055.71 + 27.22 + 304.52 without new OEM turbo

MR281085 Turbo outlet pipe gasket (same as Ralliart but new ones are recommended) 4.65
47.87 total list.
i'm exhausted from yesterday and sore all over, its like I was at the gym or something. 
I got close to 3 hours of track time, went thru 3 tank fulls of gas and didn't have a single issue all day. Dan and I were the only cars on street tires there, everyone else was driving a trailered in race car or they brought their slicks with. got some good video though, these evo's can really hold their own.
have to spend most of today doing the honey-do list so I can come out to play tomorrow guilt-free. judging by the attendence list we're going to get ALOT of track time!
