If its cool with you...PM me your address, and I can ship them to your house, like I did [Paulnsx] centercaps I gave him. How many do you want. I don't remember how many the ducts take. I have 613 on hand. I have plenty

hey look at me! i'm an inline 2.5 liter motor with a turbo and i only make 208hp and 236tq. uber-ghey. honda makes that much hp on a 2.0 n/a motor...

i honestly think if u hooked up a hose from the intake to the cabin i could blow more air into the engine myself

Mikie, i just read this:

For the most basic WBO2 needs, I always recommend the LC-1. For boost logging along with O2, the ZT-2 comes up on top. Both are quite accurate and will serve your purpose well.

OMG was that a gift? I don't even know where to start with that comment. I think it is signature worthy though.

Thanks man! I gotta find out from Vegas how many I'll need...looks like maybe 12 per side? Maybe 30 total, to be safe? I PM you my addy now.


As for Paul's comment, that was just too easy.

turbos blow into the motor, not suck air out of it.

Not to defend...but I agree, these engines are fitted with tiny turbos, but the stock internals are way over built. So bolting up a larger turbo, then supporting mods and these cars are right up there. We have a few customers with S60R's running stock turbo with impressive numbers on little mods. Manual boost controler, high flow filter, exhaust, reflash. Unfortunately, these cars are also one step from a M1 tank in GVW
