wow its been forever. i though you guys needed to know that i've swapped out my stock volvo turbo for a 16t and a bunch of other goodies since then, running about 300whp and a little over 300torque, i will dyno is very soon. Also i have recently purchased a 1987 BMW 3series as an autocross project, it has some incredible suspension and its just crazy, slow though. Just though i would update you, ill try to keep in touch more.

WHAT ARE YOU USING TO TUNE THE CAR?


God created turbo lag to give V8's a chance.

Does that include the driver as well. Try not eating or drinking anything but a bit of water for a week. That is a quick way to drop like 50 lbs... Twisted Evil
