If I were moving somewhere without snow I don't know if I would keep it. I have to remind myself that the car is still awesome fun on tarmac so I think I would. Keep it man as long as its not screwing you financially. Most likely you would lose money on the sale (most car sales are like this) and selling cars is a pain in the ***.

But that's if the car is sold while here, I'll still be putting on the fuel pump and FMIC on and will pull the FMIC but not the FP
Id be interested in your cams and springs, i need to get some soon tho, how you like the s2? Those seem to be the best for overall power for the money.

Lol this is true, the parts are all for a IX and Budd did call dibs already,
Pending on if I sale it or not, if I don't(sale) then I'll be keeping everything and installing it in the lower 48 if not up here,

But I wouldnt know how they are bcuz I don't have them or anything else inside the car yet, but will pretty soon.

I've been thinking about it, haven't talked to one shop that would pick the Kelfords over the S2, although they say it's close. If I could sell my Kelfords for $400 then it might be worth it. The Kelfords sound better though.

Honestly no, The gains are about the same except S2 has a better curve with the stock turbo, once you get to the FP red and up then youll see better gains though out on either set, all really depends on what the goal is from there,

but basic power with stock turbo S2 is the way to go not to mention you wouldnt have to replace them later on once a bigger turbo is in place, just a tune and your good

They don't care about that unless it's making your car throw a CEL or your exhaust has been modified.

Some very helpful links... worth reading. The mod is fairly simple to do actually I have it done on my Evo8 ecu conversion.
