Thanks.
My plan in the future is to run rotated T3 piping, and then run a S256 Borg-Warner / Bullseye Power turbo..they are pretty amazing. It's like 1.00 AR GT30 power in GT28 spool.

LOL, i overstated it a bit, but its def a good alternative to standard gt30r is what i meant =P
mustang graph results from 2.0 evo
.55 AR s256 (this would be the one I want to run) my assumption vs this is that even though an evo has better VE, with the .5 extra and some good AVCS tuning I could hit
the max torque (relative to full spool) around 3700-3800~ rpm


2.3 evo
.70 AR s256

the dyno chart on the last page was just flash to OTS stage 2 after the downpipe, you can tell it needs fine tuning from how much the hp curve wavers, esp in the upper rpm range.
and hmm what showed up today?
aluminum bits, dustboots, inverted monotube fronts. ahhh..its nice to have quality susp again

That turbo sounds interesting, but those coilovers look great. I would burn several tanks of gas as soon as those made it under my car.

I'm test fitting for them so I think I'm only allowed to say that the MSRP is
$2280.00. Not sure on exact availbility to general public.

Nice ride man. You make me want to trade in my 07. Question: why did you go with JIC over HKS?
