I went back to OEM gears from my 4.77's. The turbo spools so quickly that having 4.77's may have you running through the gears way too fast IMO. In this case the longer gearing the OEM provides make sit more fun to drive!

If i were going to do gears again, I'd go w/ the puddy diff with 3.9 something like that.
I had the 4.57 gears with the greddy turbo, and even though it feels like your faster since you are zooming through each gear relatively quickly, overall my car was slower due to having shift more often. I went back to stock 4.10.
I also wish that i had the 2.0 so i have the extra 1000 rpms.

i wonder if i can just buy parts and put on ... convert the internal ver to ext ver.. so i don't have to buy the whole kit again.
Also, what do you use to plug the hole on the turbo intake that goes to the valve cover. I know I can get a little filter to go on the valve cover.

Thanks for answering all my questions, if only one of you guys lived in the Phoenix area to help me install it If not, it looks like I will have to go to a local shop to have them install it...

^If you are mechanically inclined at all you can install the Greddy kit. It took me a week of nights after work and one weekend to do by myself, but I did it. So far (fingers crossed), 2500 miles later I have had no problems. You also learn a LOT about your car, which has been very helpful. I did get a dyno tune on a stock exhaust to make sure everything was good to go and get a better tune than the basemap and put down 275 whp and 207 wtq. I now have a HFC and 70mm exhaust and want to get another tune (although the tuner close to me passed away so I am looking for a new one).
Try to find a buddy to help you and install yourself. The Greddy install instructions are GREAT and the hardest part for me was the fuel pump. It was more annoying then hard, but I did it.
Good luck bro!
