haha if lasting was an issue i wouldn't have gotten turbo to begin with. and no nitrous doesn't outlast a turbo. how it is maintained and driven is how long it will last.

while i was nitrous it was awesome. Ray told me not to spray until 4k.... i swear half the time on nitrous i used it at 1800-2200 at 65shot with racing beat race flash.

last of all if lasting long was an issue i wouldn't be trying to push it to 450whp in the near future.

and yea, engine bay looking neat really low on my list of "to care", hey, it works and will probably outlast your car, so oh well :D

ps: you know its true since you has a turbo

Yup, stay tuned for something mid-june. I might even have some sway bars lying around for you to install.

^^^^ the absolute truth.
Glad you guys got along with Yoshiya, I know he really enjoyed having everyone around.

Dont worry about me, lol. thinking about having scott build me a 20b Renesis NA. still following on crispeeds(i think thats how its spelled) thread than ill make my decision after that. i had a 20b but sold it to a local shop because it was too much hassle and work. now i regret selling it.

too much hassle so you sold it, but now you want another one??? You truly are a glutton for punishment.

I say just have MM and CRH hook you up with some upgraded parts for your turbo kit and you'll be rockin'!

yeah bro, your car was on that dyno for almost an hour! Besides, it's US who got jipped on that deal. You guys were supposed to be the "Grand Finale" to the night with your big 300 whp numbers. (just kidding)

Still an awesome event!
