I wasnt talking about you. It was some other place I had in mind. I know you tune with race fuel - (I read your posts - I learned a LOT from what you had to write so far).

Obviously - what makes sence to a lunatic like me who only wants to go as fast as humanly possible at any cost - - will NOT make sense to the ordinary evo owner who has concerns about the possibility of blowing up his engine or retaining a warranty - - or who dosn't feel inclined to spent thousands of wasted hours trying to figure something out which does not yeild and financial renumeration - - - - there are not many who would understand just how far gone I have become in my pursuit of speed - but running a little race fuel is the LEAST of my worries !

No - thats not necessary. Thanks for offering - I am trying to keep my engine bay more stealth looking with lots of stock style peices - this way i can try and re-coop some of my insane parts bills by winning a few street races in the bronx. Although the ole' bov was a masterpiece yto look at - many fellow street racers were scared of it - thinking I had some internal engine mods to go along with the bov. The el cheapo plastic stock unit is a great ruse. It does leak a bit of boost but who cares?

AMS, how much is your kit going to cost? I haven't seen a pricing yet on your site. Also what exactly comes with the kit?

I can't wait for the AMS report after the boost leak is fixed and the clutch replaced.

Good Stuff!

Aren't you guys planning to replace the stock turbo for the HKS GT3037S? If so...when. You guys have me waiting for every update now. LOL

It seems to me that the HKS turbo you speak of is kind of overpriced for the HP you CAN'T get out of it. We are currently working on our own turbo kit for the car, and although the project is young it looks very promising and will be far cheaper than the HK$ kit.
