Default Our quiet, unsung GENIUS - IMO

Just a note to say thanks to that crazy Canadian Imo, who is always out there looking for replacement alternators, fans, and what-not. I have to say, Imo really as done a lot for us and been super unassuming. CHEERS IMO!!!

I've long been impressed with his SC setup. Plus, it's great knowing that there are people out there looking for, testing, and reporting back on viable part substitutions.

He even stays up late if you ask him, to read updates to your threads and offer opinions and ideas.

I've always appreciated humble opinions, but IMO's... not so much.

Yea, Imre's a cool cat. I believe he holds the world record for the most humans stuffed into a 928 while crossing international borders.

+1, when I first got here he was very helpful with lots of suggestions and follow-up information to my stupid questions.

His posts about alternative items he's tried are very helpful. A true DIY guy. How many people can say they built their own SC setup? His design for keeping the MAF in place was genius. He was also the one (IIRC) that who discovered that the orientation (rotation?) of the MAF can actually affect the readings and performance of an SC-ed car.

By US standards that would mean you've never actually met him
