We are waiting for the initial preproduction pieces to come in. Once we give the OK, it will go into full production.

We have tested a prototype O2 housing / down pipe with good results. I believe it is currently being quoted for production. The factory DP is a good piece for the stock turbo and we feel there is no need to upgrade it. The power is found in the O2 housing.

Thanks for the spoiler. You should have labeled the thread. I was really looking forward to seeing the results myself when I get my Sport Compact Car issue.

Anyways, awesome job AMS.

The route had a great deal of coasting and downhill sections so we were nice on the throttle

Yeah, and evidently also used some not so kosher techniques:

exert from article on mpg:

The only visible carnage of group was caused by a tire tread which flew out from under the semi that the AMS evo was drafting. After the impact, Martin's evasive maneuvers almost took out Cheston (350z), who was tucked in behind him. And you thought this was just a leisurely drive.
But fine by me!! You guys do whatever it takes to win and that's why we love you.
