Wife: What are you doing?
Me: Uh me? Trying to buy a turbo for the car.
Wife: Why? The car is already fast enough.
Me: hmmm...

Wife is silent.

I take note of the silence and determine the lack of a definitive no is we are on the same page. Glad we talked it out

Agreed. Your communication skills should be noted and taught.

^ I seek boost

7yo daughter: Daddy I want to ride with you. Your car is faster than Mommy's truck.
Me: And it is going to be faster soon

Wife with a smiling bitter beer face: Really? You really want to buy a turbo?
Me: hmmmm

Wife is silent.

Wife: OK.
Me: Yep.


hahaha

It's not quite like changing an oil filter. It's gonna be a bit


There's a Black FD that's been parked in the garage here at work for a week now. I think someone is just storing it here. I kind of want to stalk the owner and steal the keys

And think how much you will want to buy my car now

This is the kit I bought (minus Cobb, BHR Coils, catch can). I have BHR coils, BHR midpipe and will get the Cobb at the MM dyno day. Looking into gauges and a few other things as well.

Greddy turbo kit with upgraded BNR turbo
Upgraded silicone couplers with t-bolt clamps
880cc oem blue injectors rebuilt by kg parts
Greddy spec2 boost controller
HKS Blow Off Valve
AEM Intake
