This turbo kit has infected me with the mod bug. Just snagged one of these:

It won't arrive for a couple months probably. That gives me time to decide on side skirts and a rear.

Yeah, that much power is enough to keep the monkey on your back satisfied for a good long time. I'm in the same ballpark hp-wise (but not torque-wise, nice job) and it still kinda scares me. I love it.

Honestly, I think above that power level is kind of a waste on street tires. 500whp, 600whp- they're all the same if you can't get any traction in the first three gears. :rofl2:

Haha exactly. I'm not sure what I would do with more power at this point. I have to baby the throttle as it is.

Yeah, I can't really give it any less throttle in first or second. What do I need more power for?

Thinking about these side blades:

Those aren't the Evo-R blades. They're Tarmac Sportz.

I love the look of the blades, but not a fan of how they just tape on the bottom of your skirts

No worries. They're similar but I really like these better than the Evo-Rs. They come from the UK and are 240 pounds shipped to the US. With the exchange rate right now that's $395. A little pricey for side blades but I might still go for it.

These are held on with 8 screws each ;)

Might as well. You'll never actually receive a product from Evo-R.

Is that power fall because of dropping boost? Shouldn't hold still 10 psi to the very end?

Sasha, what is the stock block boost limit for your kit ?

Puckshaw - solid numbers, I'm almost exited as you because one of Sasha's great kits will soon land in my car too :)
