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!

Yes,..props to Ryan and the gang,..
Got my car back today and money well spent (no bleeding knuckles for me)
Drove it home and definitely anxiously await for PDX tune day as I got it up to 1 bar max before backing off. No way to tell till the tune. Thanks guys and Simon for selling me the turbo..

No, that is not a bad thing at all! However, I will need a ride to compare for myself.

You and Kev need to come to the next cruise (T4T?)... hopefully your boss can give you the day off this time!

Most welcome, Kevin! I do hope it makes you smile as it did for me!

Sure thing, Chris! After the tune, perhaps and only if the tunes good! How's your build coming along?
As for the next cruise, I'll have to check with boss, as per normal... depends on work load and all..

The car is still in the bodyshop, but hopefully I'll get her back soon.

I've accumulated most of the parts I'll be needing. The swap is slated to commence on 12/18. Hopefully after that I'll be able to just barely keep up with you & Kevin!

Doooood, your new swap and the 20G will bring you into the 300+whp and 300+wtq range!

Methinks you can keep up REAL fine!

Thanks!

Backed off 1/4 turn on the adjustment nut and fluttering is now gone when accelerating hard....

Next on my list is an EBC or some sort and PDX tune to finalize my car...

Don't lie kev; I know you like that sound
I'm surprised you haven't painted anything red on your car.
