Philadelphia's Classiest Drunkards
My first introduction to Pho was when I was in high school, went over to my friends house and his mom cooked it up. I was hooked.

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 It's 995 on AMS' website
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 I think this is taken care of if you go TBE
1225a155 Oil feed line 27.22
1225A181 Oil return line 75.97
1310A469 Coolant return pipe 12.10
1310A577 Coolant feed pipe 25.20
MF650114 coolant banjo bolt x2 7.37 x2
MF660065 coolant banjo bolt gasket x4 0.95 x4
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) again depends on whether you bought a full exhaust already and it fits.
3078.50 + 27.22 +304.52 total list.
1055.71 + 27.22 + 304.52 without new OEM turbo

Good seeing you Andy, your car was full of peeps. I see you roll deep when you go out to the city. 
Chu, I forgot to get a business card from your friend.
I wanted to stay a bit longer and grab one of those grilled burgers, but ...
Dan, thanks for picking out the parts I need from the list.
Taxes payed this week, now for some more

i thought this was interesting. the impact wrench that chu was making fun of me for having claims a 240 ft lbs or torque. i admittedly have torqued my lug nuts on using because i knew in the back of my head it wasn't nearly that strong. i finally busted out my torque wrench that was set at 80 by chu from the fender rolling day and i tested out the torque on my lug nuts. it was a bit lower than 80 ft lbs.
my battery powered one claims like 125 or something but that one is super weak.
i hope you all can sleep better knowing this.

Looks legit, they just better send me that dam coupon if I buy. Don't opt out of their email advertisements, that's how you get the coupon. Probably stock up on oil.
