Yep.. suck on that for the haters who called this turbo a pig!

Crazy about the cam cover.. def a fluke. Props to Zaklee though. Rob reached out to me quick and even agreed to send another free of charge. I am just VERY fortunate nothing major happened to the motor. And I can't stop thanking MAP enough for finding the issue and resolving promptly.

Don't get sucked into the continuous mod game...I've been there, its not fun!

Trust me, the more power the **** breaks, the less you drive it and the more money you spend. You have a solid setup, at least enjoy it for a while!

Ordered up some more blinging goodness today..

- Matte Mishimoto Radiator Air Diversion Plate (the shade of blue on GTSPEC I bought just doesn't look right)
- Dress Up Bolts Stainless Engine Bay and Engine Kit
- Agency Power EVO VIII IX 8 9 Passenger Side Motor Mount
- Defi Racer gauges and AEM Wideband
- Autometer single pod steering wheel column pod
-
Agency Power Billet Aluminum Shorty Antenna
- STM Polished Radiator Brackets Mitsubishi EVO 8 / 9
- GTSPEC Type F Front Strut Brace For EVO VIII / IX (hoping the blue here matches better.. it looks darker than the cooling plate so we will see)
- Tial Q with 10lb spring

And FYI for anyone who is looking to get one of those aluminum ralliart oil caps.. be warned.. mine was leaking like a SOB do I ditched it.

Jesus, you and your spending sprees.

Why not just get a black or raw brushed radiator shroud so you don't have to worry about matching blues? (trust me, they won't match)

And whatever you do, please don't put blue wheels on it.

I have a few questions:

1. What oil catch can are you using?
2. Is that a custom coolant reservior?
3. Where did you get the Decepticon oil cap?

Thanks.

It looks like AFR in your latest dyno plot is 12.5:1. Is that correct?

I just rattle canned the OEM one. I got tired of waiting on the Rexspeed CF ones to be in stock.
