I agree he is. It is in the middle of winter and he doesn't have anything to do. And his thread was great and full of details too. Give him a little bit of time, I am sure that Mr Top Gear will chime in. And Brian, I say go with a 4 inch exhaust.

I did 1800 km in it last week with no exhaust Two speeding tickets in Washington I have evil944t making an exhaust for me now, with 3" vband for the downpipe going into 4" and a Borla XR1 muffler Tuning is going slow but coming along. Next weekend im going to play with idle control and work on getting MS to control the boost, for some reason my MBC wont go above 7PSI.

So far I have made two coworkers scream while giving them rides And ive only given three coworkers rides, so far the record is pretty good id say. So far theres been minimal problems, just a oil hose that needs tightening and my turbo pump leaking. I guess I didnt do a good job on resealing it a while back, so ive got a new one coming. Still about a million small things to do but oh well.

Some random pics from the last while.

The new Deka EXT18L battery. It weighs 18 pounds.

Agreed, the CEP fuel rail is the absolute best on the market. It's extremely sturdy, you won't have it popping out like the other fuel rails being sold. Craftsmanship is second to none. Cheaper too I believe? But don't quote me on that.

Was cranking my car over in 20F, and my cold starting settings are hardly optimal. Dont leave your parking lights on while youre inside the US Customs building for 90 minutes applying for your L1 work visa though....
