My car returns from a Mazsport Vacation (more like a bootcamp I hear)
Here she was before I sent her out to Mazsport
On the Truck Leaving for Florida.
No I didn't send my wife with the car.
The truck is about 1.5 hours away now
, and I will update the thread here. I can move this thread somewhere else if Mazsport so wishes. A brief list of things Mazsport did for me:
Changed the hotside of the turbo
Endless BBK Install
Upgraded Radiator Install
Turbo Timer Install
Re-Install my Turbo
Install my Exedy Twin Plate Hyper Clutch
Fixed my boost issue (melted high flow cat)
Created a custom midpipe
Installed Heat Shielding on and around Turbo
Dynamatted Passenger side floorboard to reduce noise/heat
Re-Did most of my turbo install related wiring
Recoated a scratched charge tube
Installed hood dampers (I could have done it myself, but it was right there)
Some custom brackets for things
Added new bushings to engine mount
Installed Ignition Solution
Installed Microtech Dash
Installed Mazsport Canisters (Catch Can, Windshield Washer, Radiator Overflow)
Street Tuning
Dyno Tuning
I probably forgot a few things... I will update later. Anyways.... you can expect to see me with a permanent smile for the next few months.

Hey man nice 8, that thing is looking good you should post some videos of it running, also do you mind saying how much money you have put into that thing. Oh and also what is your torque now with that turbo.

Easy to see. I like to keep my eyes on the road. I really would LIKE to know when I am overboosting, or if my EGT gets way outta line. Nav system removes one option, my requirement to be able to keep my eyes on the road removes most others. While it wasn't my first choice, it turned out to be the best one I had available given my requirements.

So... how does it drive...
Idle is freaking perfect. Better than stock... I cant believe it. I don't know how the hell you pulled that off Scott.
Smooth as.... (insert inappropriate reference here). Pulls like mad. The quote I got from my passengers were lunch is that, it doesn't even seem like a turbo. It just pulls and pulls. The lag is almost non-existant. Even with the larger hotside I went with. To be honest, unless you are really pushing for higher power, I dont think the larger hotside is really necessary.
I can't believe how much better it runs now. I think if you haven't had your int-x tuned by Scott, you really haven't had it tuned. It is amazing the difference in the car. Oh, yah... my spark don't blow out anymore. I think the new ignition system is a good chunk of the reason the smoothness is even better than the stock 8 (my brother and I swapped cars for about 10 minutes... he has a stock VR).
