So hows it feel to drive now? what were your numbers before the leak was found?
Fantastic. I haven't given it more than 1/3 throttle yet and I can already tell it is worlds faster than before.

As to the pre-repair numbers, I actually didn't ask honestly. I was more concerned with getting her to 100%.

were you nervous?

both times i turbo'd i was a fricken wreck... I was nervous as all get out. Brad, Peter and Anthony had to keep calming me down lol.

It wasn't i didnt trust, it was just the sound of the turbo and the scream of the motor and just anticipating something to go Boom! lol

do you know what trim you have? is the 60 trim? i have the 50 trim.. Also is it ball bearing?

Thought's of upgrading to a gt30 or a precision turbo that is similiar with a ball bearing has crossed my mind... But only when i go Hondata...Then i'll do the head gasket mod all at the same time....

Ur pipes look ALOT more prettier than mine though thats for sure... I may just have to paint them lol

I was not particularly nervous, but then I was not there for the initial tuning .

The turbo is not ball bearing as far as I know. The only thing I can really recall off hand is that it's a T3/T4 with a .62 A/R.

OH ok..

Had you been there, you may have had some butterflies hahaha..

That's the same .62 that I have as well. That's the exhaust side of the turbo. I have a 50 trim. I find it to be a great daily turbo that spools quickly enough and pulls well to redline no problem.

When the day comes that I have the thicker HG installed by them, i'll be sure to push more of the turbo and wake it up. These turbo's easily boost ALOT more..

Cant wait to see it !!!
