    "stupid" is the first word in the Marine Coprs dictionary.

    Kidding, but I am old enough/mature enough to know better. I keep it at the track.

    I'll be running it hard soon, but not too soon. I want to spend a good week of "normal" driving and check for leaks, loosened bolts, ect.

    well done! Waiting on vids as all of us :) i wish also us europeans would have the possibility for turbo upgrade...
    anyway whats ur first experience? how about torque steering etc? i am just wondering more power to front wheels can make them burn down faster? :) RRM video showed that front wheels still had a hard time dealing with the power.. how is it in reality?

    This kit is no joke. It is worth every single dollar. I can't give a "full" review as I have only had it up to about 4800 rpms. I want to go through a break-in period. When you push things too hard too soon, things tend to break. I have way too much invested in this car, to allow that. I want to do everything right. And going with an RRM turbo vice building my own was the "right" thing to do. :D

    I do fell slight torque steer but nothing that not controlable.

    I havn't laid into it to burn the tires yet, so we will see. I can tell you that my Dunlops couldn't handle my stock power. I spun them all the time. I will be buying new tires soon.

    Do you have the RRE engine mounts? If not, as a former FWD turbo driver, I would STRONGLY suggest you get them :) The front end will be much tamer when you really push it.

    Finally some pics!!!

    I know the car isn't clean and I promise to get some clean ones up this weekend. :D

    Also, after 2 days of driving my average mpg is 27.4. Not bad for a turboed car and 93 octane. :D

    Pic of the FMIC and CF grill. Yet to be installed is the CF bumper cap and CF splitter. I wanted to get the turbo installed before I worried about them. :D

    Everything bolted in. I left off the plastic radiator cover. I will reistall it later and eventually replace it with a carbon fiber one.
    [​IMG]

    In this pic you can notice that I switched to a thinner battery. This allowed even more room for the piping.
    [​IMG]

    In this pic you can see where I placed the piggyback. If you look where the ECU is, you can see it.

    Thats it for now. I still have some very minor wire cleanup (looming) to take car of, but for the most part its done! :twisted:
