Hello, I don't know why I never found this forum, but I'm new to it. Here is my baby.









She's got new shoes and a new hood coming soon

wow, very impressive, ur definitely lights years ahead of me, so i that the greddy bolt on kit? How much? Did u install? definitely lovin it!!!

Thanks . Yeah it's the Greddy. With the fuel management and random stuff I had to buy (new oil pan, have it pre-tapped, powder coat all the intercooler piping, ceramic coat the turbo manifold, etc.) it came out to probably about $3300-$3500. My car club and I spent a weekend getting this puppy in.

Damn sweet, love the intercooler piping, on off piece, thats roughly the price of the TRD supercharger, any idea how much hp ur putting down?

I c ur all about buisness, power first!! oh yeah, WELCOME!!!

Hehe nah, tryin to balance it all. Hence the carPC and polished valve cover. I had her dyno tuned for a safe tune, because she's my daily driver. With that said, I'm only putting down 229.3 hp at the wheels, but I am soon gonna be upping the boost and some other goodies.

very impressive, im definitely goin the turbo route, but in a couple of years so i dont void the warranty, yeah i c that screen is awesome, so where did u buy the kit from?

I got it online from Pracing.com.

u and NAVY here have about the same numbers....but who would win??? so how does ur BOV sound, SRT4ish, or EVOish

Lol, yeah I was considering a dual boot thing going, but I figured some of the media software I wanted to integrate was already available with XP. I like Linux, don't get me wrong, in fact I used GParted to expand my HD from 6 to 80 gigs, but see my take on Linux is: Linux is great you can do everything, but you have to do everything...too much micro management with writing all the kernels. Also I don't think the eManage support tool can be easily configured with Linux, and I want to integrate that in eventually, so that when I get a wideband 02 and an electronic boost controller, I can tune on the fly (kinda).

I'm thinking navy would win because his boost is constant, mine has a (barely noticable) lag. Hopefully, with enough finance management though, I can be up to around 270ish by the end of the summer (not likely though cause the show season always takes up too much time). As far as the sound of my BOV....at partial boost, it blows off kinda like a sequential BOV. At full boost, it has a good sound (not sure which one to compare it to, because I have never heard either the SRT's or the EVO's). With the 8.5lbs of boost though, as well as the tightness I have the BOV set to, it's not super loud, which is good because navy and I have a similar idea....keep the outside clean but distinctive, let the rice roll up and sound off their 4" Autozone exhausts, then come back at 'em with a nice subtle blow off (or in his case, prolly sounds like a jet engine about to go into afterburn), and maybe a bit of tire smoke. The nice thing is that if they don't get the hint, you can always just go balls to the wall and show them that they really should put more effort into their rides Not that I ever race mind you....I just drive away very spiritedly while they try to keep up.

HAHAHA, i really need some boost!!!

Oh I had it tuned. I made sure that the guy tuned it rich (safe) because she's my daily driver. I have a VIA EPIA M1000 in a Morex Cubid low profile case.

Got new wheels =) TSW Estoril 18x8 35mm offset. They're wrapped with Kumho Ecsta AST's 25/40/18

Yeah, I got the hyperblack/gunmetal.... I do have some rubbing on the left driver's side but only on big bumps, or hard right turns where the road dips to the left a bit. It's only on a very small part of the inner fender liner near the top, and I can probably just either remove the inner fender (the other side got ripped off already...long story) or just semi-roll that section.

Oustide. Inside, I only lost 3mm.
