Thanks for the video! :cheers:
I was thinking that if a picture is worth a thousand words, then imagine how many a video is worth!
That little four cylinder makes some good torque and from the video, first gear ends pretty quickly! Very Nice piece of work! :thumbsup:
Do you have the rev...
The only downside to them being low is that you'd have to use a smaller light. You could fit it with an HID, which would give more usable lumens to make up for the size though.

Is this what you mean?
Those are some Really Nice stripes! What color is your car? It's hard to tell in the sun, but it looks Great!
Oops, I was too busy admiring your car and forgot the lights! :)
$3449 Shipped is still a good price to get that much power! Nice piece of work Adam!:cheers:
As far as the loss of low end power in an automatic, pop yourself a little stall converter in there and you won't be missing it for long.
I'd think that the loss of bottom end might be good because it...

I recommend that you do what I did before putting a blower on my old car.
I read everything that I could on blowers and figured out what I wanted. Get as much info as you can on them and talk to peeps that have blowers (noting both pros and cons), decide what...
I agree with most of what you said, but you'll see most, if not all OEM's using journal bearing turbos on their cars. I understand that most of it is a cost thing, in that the extra cost of adding ball bearings to a shaft would cut into their profit margin, but they still use the JB shafted...
The video sounded Great! I liked how the BOV sounded between gears. It's kind of like a warning signal for other cars to back off because you're packing something under the hood! Nice job! :cheers:
The turbo comes on pretty strong once it spools up and looks like it has quite a lot of breath up...
