Badev0's Build Thread *Part 2*
It's just an ABS plastic plate I made that attaches to the front bumper so small rocks and debris don't get sucked in/ruin the turbo. I always use it when I drive on the street. I've made a couple of them for local's who don't want to ruin their turbo.
Plate installed here. I did back to back runs with it on/off for comparison to see what the real advantage is of having a forward facing setup.. Obviously the faster you go the more it will help.

Yeah, me too!! Right now i'm actually daily driving the car to work this week as my wife is driving my daily driver Evo while her car is under the knife..
It's nice to drive the evo to work every once I awhile, but man im worried about someone hitting me or something lol
Started upping the boost last night. She's starting to make some real jam above wastegate pressure 
Had to stop due to the copper plugs. Throwing in iridium's and finishing her up tonight.
I also got these BBS MR wheels. I think they look pretty good.

Here's a graph of the car at 38psi. Turbo cover was on, so I'd expect 15-20 more with the plate off. It boogies for sure. The lower graph is when it was going 10.0@141-142 (139mph with plate on). We did few small pulls at 44psi and made 780whp and 650wtq at only 6900/7000rpm. There's definitely a lot more in it. We are going to race it at 38psi and go from there
