Well - I'm stuck driving a slow NON turbo Subaru until everything shows up.

Took my car to the 'Garage of Doom' AKA my friends parents house who are gone for the summer where I will be drinking *cough* I mean installing everything, its' up in pieces and my intake and header are sold and gone so it's layin on the jackstands inoperable.

*sniff - poor tC all alone in that garage.

Now you will find out how much fun you can have autocrossing with lack of grip and a turbo

I really enjoy it as it fit's my driving style as I an not a smooth driver.

In the places you can get hooked up you will get a real kick out of the acceleration though, literally!

Damn, all this talk about boost again, I think I will head ou to the shop and work on the manifold today

Just a suggestion, but you should look into water/meth injection to help keep temps down. Running it that hard will create a lot of heat and drasticly shorten the life of your motor.

S/C might have been a better option for autox, but I can't say I blame you for wanting to go turbo, more bang for the buck and a blast to drive.

Anyhow congrats and good luck.

I ran a D2 Auquamist setup on my SM class turbo Matrix in 2003, it really does help alot!

It was rather costly so it is nice to see others making kits now, I would very much want one that is metered according to boost level and shuts off completely when the trottle plate is closed;)

Thats just retarded that a car can't get out of it's own way - I would call that unsafe, how do you power out of a situation when it is called for haha

That's a road hazard.

I'm glad because I've built alot of turbo'd cars - never my own! IT is MY turn ;) I've worked hard for it. I've done alot of kits - and I'm impresses with Dezod I'm glad to join their family.

Thank You.
