haha umm i don't know there isn't much to say. i shift between 2500 and 4000 rpm, i usually drive 20 over for the most part, don't really go over 130 on the highways too often anymore (but thats for other reasons 
haha) and pretty much every morning i've let my car warm up for 5-10 min max
like right now i've got 560km on this tank, i've been to work twice (mississauga) and today i left work and drove straight to north bay and i have over an 1/8th of a tank left...

No, it works fine in the Evo MR, and others have it tested to well above 300whp, but that seems to be the max for reliability. As the car is right now, the 0-4000rpm power is just about at max, so I should be pretty close to max torque. All the turbo swap will effectively give me is more high-end HP, since right now the power noticeably drops off after 4000.
