:giggle:

Actually...you could almost say that.

Motormenace donated the turbo to the cause, my IHI was devastated, the compressor wheel was...worn down, bent, fins dent and torn up, bent the shaft, destorying the bearings...it was just painful, it actually locked up...so i kinda did shave it

like you wouldnt believe!

the boost controller i have in the car doesnt work very well, so itll spike 20psi, and level down to about 12, but 12psi feels almost the same as 18psi on the IHI

i figured out how to launch the car under boost...and it spiked 20psi on the launch and scared the hell outa me...so we'll see how she runs when i can finish up an exhaust system, and get the boost leveled off at maybe 18psi
