Dang that sucks been down that road a few times, I'm new to the turbo game. I've always been an all motor guy. Good luck with what ever you choose.

Well, even thought technically the Evo was sold, I changed my mind and decided to keep it and rebuild again. Hopefully my kid will enjoy it when it's his turn! Lol

Respect, I should've of done the same but I got tired of those turbos failing at high boost . Car was down more than it drove, because of the turbos failing and waiting for turbos to arrive weeks at a time.

I have literally spooged my pants on multiple occasions through each photo you had posted. I am in awe at the cleanliness. I really do envy you guys on the mainland that have access to cheap shipping. Price of paradise...

But seriously, love the colors, attention to detail, thoroughness (even when you made a mistake, how you backtracked and fixed it asap), and that drive to get it done your way (I love the cage btw). I'm sorry I spooged again looking at the engine bay. Pardon me...

32psi was my pump gas tune made like 6 and change straight 93. The feel of high boost on open road is addicting hence the step up to the big boy.
