Thanks guys.

I guess now everything is pretty much up to date. I still need injectors, and to send my module off to be reflashed for the new turbo. But ill have to wait until next payday or so. I bought the turbo sooner than I planned to, so that kinda took a hit on my bank account, I dont want it to go any lower before I get paid again. lol Between Jess just working 20 hours of overtime that will be on this next check, and doing our taxes soon, this build should be done pretty quick, or at least within a month. lol

I love it, rides great, no issues at all. Transmission is a little loud with the single mass flywheel, but thats hardly anything really, and when it warms up ill switch over to thicker fluid. I have plenty of room in the car, and just overall love it. Just wish it was quicker. Stock the 2.0t's are freaking turds. I think with basic bolt ons I did 180whp and 210wtq, with the CMD, it was WAY better, gained about 40whp, and 70wtq. That puts me in fighting shape for a stock V6. Ive ran a couple V6 Camaros and barley beat them, and they are normally rated at very low to 14 flat. But thats nothing to brag about. And like ive said, with this turbo setup, the best ive seen is mid 12s, with over a 110 trap speed. My hope is to be able to run with new V8 Camaros and Mustangs, dont care if I beat them, but at least stay at their door and piss them off, lol. Magazines normally rate those at bottom 13s stock, so I should be fine. My weak link is going to be the fact im running a stock muffler. I have a 3inch catless down pipe, and 3inch catless midsection, but my Axle back is still the stock 2.5 inlet muffler, with dual 2.5 out. But I love the way it sounds, it sounds like a aggressive OEM system, and since its a daily driver, id like to keep it pretty quite since I have a long commute to work. And besides, my bike is loud as fuck, so id like to keep the car quite. Ive thought about putting on a 3inch electric dump, and see what kind of gains I get out of that. But first I think ill see what I can squeeze out of my current setup. My wishfull thinking is, the exhaust gases are a lot cooler by the time they reach the muffler, and by then its not that much of a restriction, but im probably lying to myself. lol

Tiny update. Evo X injectors showed up today. They are 550s in a Evo, but I run higher fuel pressure than Evos so they are 680s in my car.

This friday or monday ill be sending my PA module off to be reflashed for the bigger turbo, so when that gets back all ill have to do is wrench on the car for a couple hours, and set up some dyno time at Lowe Performance

Ive turned back into a ricer this week. lol

A little metal trim ring on my shifter was popping up a hair and bugging my hand so I used that excuse to order a nice shift knob. For some reason I fell in love with the Blox knob called Neo Chrome. Its 490grams, so a little over double the weight of the stock 220 gram knob. Every picture looks different, it changes like 4 colors. Purple, blue, green, and gold.

Also, this was on the list for a long time from now, because I would never spend $250 on a spoiler, but a vendor on the GenCoupe Board had tons of over stock, and posted them up for $120 with shipping, and they come painted. Tons of members already have them, and theres not a single complaint about color match.

I've got that shift knob and love it. I think you'll like it.

I really don't want to like these cars because of who makes them but the performance and looks are hard to resist haha. The other day I saw one on a flat bad with a transmission sitting outside the car. Is that a common weak link for these? Hell the transmission could have belonged to something else I just figured it was out of that car.

Keep up the good work!

Clutch and flywheel is junk beyond stock power. Trans works fine, just a little noisy with a single mass flywheel.
