It will make that power consistently over the course of 10 years and will never blow up or lose compression.

Now this is duct work.



And this is what you call an adjustable wing.

Those adjustable spoiler holes looks kinda like the porting we are going to do on your next engine Austin.

Think this would work to ad an oil filter inline to the turbo on the feed line? It has 1/4" inlet and outlet. I could use whatever filter I want on it.

I'd have to support the boost over brakes end of things, but I'm guessing there's a huge cost differential there. Plus, the brakes will (or should) be less of a problem once installed. Boost always seems to complicate things, even if it is amazingly fun.

Well, I'm in Japan now. Only been at my actual location for a couple days now. It's hot and VERY humid. I guess this is part of work life, but I've been pretty constantly busy since I have arrived. One of the teachers, who happens to live in the same apartment building as me, drives a black RX-8. I didn't realize that until after I had met him so I haven't really talked to him about that. On my way to my new place, a VERY nice looking white FD passed us going the other way. Right as I walked out of the airport, there was a very clean RS6 as well. Needless to say, I'm enjoying the car scene here so far and it's going to be difficult to not spend all my paycheck on a nice car!

Nice to see you made it in ok.

On another note, We are having a little BBQ at the house tonight if anyone would like to stop by. Should start around 6pm or so.

A turbo is something you work up too. Especially if it is your DD, you have to be prepared for catastrophic failure When I blow this engine I will get a new car and then slowly build mine into a beast, likely an REW swap or LSX swap.
