Many thanks to R & D Automotive, Hawaii!!
Warmest Mahalos to Ryan, Davin and Jimmy for the super excellent installation service today!
Got to drive it home from work (@10:30pm!!) and I must say, the car pulls strong and feels GREAT! You are right, Joey! (Well, I only got to play with the throttle for only a moment on the freeway - there was traffic.. )
Now I'm just waiting impatiently for my tune with Jarrad in Jan/Feb!
Wooohoooo!

Care to share which turbo you put in that would be so worth over the special PDX one? So curious...
btw,...see you got the pics I sent

Hey Kevin!
Thanks for the pics! Yups! That WAS the car! You look GREAT in it!
This turbo doesn't seem to have the low end grunt like the one that's going into your car today but in trade has a little more top end - which is why I got it. I love both turbos, but I can only keep one! I think your top end will come out better if you add a little meth.
Absolutely love my new brakes, though!
We'll see how this puppy performs after Jarrad plays with it in the next tune.

Thanks, guys!
Kevin, your cars looks so much nicer than mine - all clean and ding-free! and chip-free, and bird crap-free and hard water spots-free.. and.. and... just, so nice and clean! Gotta Love 'em HKS TBE! Sounds silent, alright!
As of a couple hours ago, your car was on the lift and your turbo was already out! wooohooo!
Them Alcons make my rear wheels look like there aren't any brakes in there!

Thanks for the update,..
I bet the Alcons stop on a dime and you sure are on the "A" list with PDX and Jarrad hooking you up with the turbos.
I can't wait for the turbo either and tune and will see you there in a couple months...My car has some dings do to where I gotta park at work and I can hook you up with some car detailing. My friend does it great (also my grade school classmate) and takes care of car detailing and is very meticulous.
Im learning as I go and done a few porter cables jobs already, I just dont have the experience to do "major" paint correcting, but polish and waxing/sealant I can do...
See ya later!

We'll see if this thing is a beast or even become one after the tune... I'm not expecting much at all.. just want it to be nice a streetable for our roads...
It actually feels the same or similar as the last one.. and that's not a bad thing, I suppose...
