Not bad!!! Faster than I thought it would be for an auto -- I believe thats what you said?? Auto right?

My 0-60 and 0-80 seem to be a fair bit faster than yours though ;) Wait until I get my fuel management dialed in, I'll post some vids.

What do you have done to your car? Supercharger or Turbo. I'm going to get some computer work done, try to get maybe 15whp at the wheels.

I don't have a pic of the maifold, but i'll take one this weekend. The turbo is basically at the bottom of the engine, but still hooks up to stock exhaust port.

The last picture at the bottom is of the manifold. All curled up from the equal length manifold.

Yea... Stafford does some AWESOME work. The only real problem anyone ever had with him, is his operation is too small to take on so many orders and fullfill them in a timely manner. That manifold is dope!!!!

Oh yea? Well, people like to lie... Troy lied about his car blowing. People saying their car blew up doesn't necessarily mean anything either, I remember one time someone told me their "car blew up" and I asked "what happened, how do you know?" and they said "it got all loud all of the sudden then shut off"

Turns out, the rotted out exhaust FELL off, it got loud and they got scared and stalled it LMAO.

Yea, that's what I thought. You seem like a very honest person, Mike. I've seen so many people that are eternally hooked on sf kits.

btw, Mike on the Scion, do you need to remove the oil breather on the TB???

I could help notice that some warning lights were on in the videos. I couldn’t make out what they were. Can you shed some light on which one’s they are and if you’re able to get the lights to turn off? But over all, the car sound healthy and moves pretty good. Nice job.

I thought they were the "track off" light and the seat belt light.
