Understand that my car is purely function, nothing on that car was done for appearances.. Even the braided hoses were done for a reason.

Its not emissions legal though because the vapors that exit escape to the atmosphere and I do have to address that eventually.
It made more sense than putting a oil trap on there which is expensive and just as ineffective.

I definitely can't recommend an SSQV for the stock turbo though, it flutters and causes surge on the smaller turbos, plus you have to recirculate it if you have a MAF regardless..

Jack car looks good! I have been reading your posts and learning for three years now although, it looks as if more recently you have turned to the dark side of giant turbos!
In my experience springs = noise, bottoming out and the sh*ty guilty feeling of compromising the stock ride for a lower stance. I must have taken them in and out 6-7 times chasing different squeaks, clunks and other unsavory noises and vibrations. Waste of $ and a line-up IMO.
I found the PSS9s to be as good or better on the street than the stock set up with a moderate drop.
