Well thanks to Adam (aboothman) he noticed my wastegate actuator was turned 45 degrees the wrong way and the WG was stuck open (I think). We unhooked it, set it up right, and tightened the bar a few turns. Well it is running better than before I bet when we installed the turbo it was just a little off the whole time and the WG flapper wouldn't shut all the way. Now it is SOLID, omg is it PULLIN.

All the crew is here and Jason's evo 9 head is about halfway off. He is also getting some custom paint work by your's truly for under the hood. It looks TIGHT!

No problem man, we got this thing dialed, it's going to run perfecto! Plus the gold is going to look SIACK if I do say so myself. I dunno who chose that color but it seems to be PERFECT!

Perfect color is exactly right! Looks sick without even being in the engine bay.

Ill be completely honest. Those wheels in 18's would probably be the best looking wheels on your car besides the advan-rs or the weds sport sa-90s

Just save cash and get the Rotas, SD are good peeps. I used to knock em but know I rock em. They are holding up great on these Humboldt County roads. I say do 17X9's don't get 18. They have the Torque R's and they are HELLA concave, I say do it. Either way golds wheels is the way to go on your car now.
