I'm sorry if i'm stupid but I don't see the relationship of what cars you own and what kind of camera you have?

i think he's trying to say that the guy really doesn't own both cars...

either way... what kind of boost does it come from the factory, what kind of turbo, and how much does it weigh?

One of my friends (a die hard saab guy) drove one and said that he loved it. Now that he is out of school is looking into getting one. Good luck with it.

Hmm, I interpreted his post to mean that it's odd that he has two cars like those but doesn't own a digital camera.

Like saying that it sounds strange to have kids and not have any photo albums.

I see. Well that guy was me. I think I already said that it's running 1.17 bar from the factory and that it has twin KKK turbos in it weighing in at about 3600 lbs.

Is it that hard to believe that I don't own a digital camera. Is it that hard to believe that I can own those 2 cars. For the nay sayers, I'll have a friend take some pictures tonight. ok?

What would you need a boost controller if you have the Evolve ECU for? That's like putting a boost controller on an Evo if you have a UTEC installed.

But I'd honestly rather just put money in to the Evo since the gains will be alot more for the money. DPs for a S60R are $1200, that's right. $1200! Sorry, hardly seems worth it for a 20hp gain.

I would put it so i can add more boost when i have race gas avaliable. I dont know if the Evolve allow u to control anything after u install it?
