got my car back finally (turbo'd)
it's not totally done as the BOV is getting put on next week, and the E01 isnt set right yet...
But so far it's been pretty fun to drive, despite having to test it in the rain (first turn i took with it, almost went sideways)...
if it clears up tomorrow, ill try to get some pictures up.
:-D

EGT can tell you that something is wrong, but if it's serious, you might be finding out too late. Which is why I like AFR over EGT when you're shooting for the bare minimum. Plus you can use AFR to tune. EGT isn't going to help and will cost almost the same.

Well you've got ***** man. I couldn't think of a worse time to put F/I on this car other than right now with the recall and what not. I hope you got your engine checked before you got everything installed.

I was thinking about selling it and going with something cheaper, but decided just to go with it.
We played around with the profec today, got it HOLDING steady at 7 psi, quick as hell... in a small I'd say barely 1/4 road, I can easily get it to 105 before letting off.
only picture i have right now, the bov goes on next week
