I know man... I would love to go with a 4 piston setup like 9k but the money isnt there.

I will wait until BHR has their setup out, hopefully by then I'll be a millionaire so I can afford it.

Dude...

Stop worrying.

We cannot tap into the cold side of the coolant without some major modifications.

A turbo rebuild kit costs $80 and a balance costs $60. Do you really want to add another electrical component to drag the system down, and invest another $300 plus time to save $140 every 30,000 miles?
