questions
where you getting it installed?
where are you getting it tuned?
what ems you gonna use?
what hp you looking for?
honestly I am worried for you at this point cause i don't think anyone local would be a good tuner. Can you trailer it to Chicago (if you go acessport) and be ready to pay almost as much for tuning and dyno time as the turbo kit costs. it only takes one mistake to destroy an NA engine with boost.

Great way to stay busy over break. ha ha

ryan i did text ya, sent ya a message at 3:27 according to my phone. lol. and i need to answer ya back about what? lol. we still need to figure somethin out cause i still got that shift **** and suede boot for ya.

damn charlie sorry to hear bout that, ill tell ya the same thing i told ryan though, you can get away with so much **** while your on those drugs, i hit on my nurses so much when i jacked up my arm playin ball. if they shoot ya down just blame it on the drugs. lol.

masked, i drive the 8 all year. its all i have, now if the snow/ice gets bad ill just find a ride or hop on a bus, but the 8 is out all year.

took the 8 to get the alarm put in it today, told the guy up front that if he starts the car he has to let it run for a couple of min. or rev it up, he didnt wanna mess anything up so he told me just to pull it around and tell the technician. So i did that, told the tech that he either had to let it run or rev it up, he said ok, so i started to walk away and he turned it off. I was like are you ****** serious did you not just listen to a word i said? to which his response was, dont worry i work on cars like this all the time, the engine will drain and be just fine when im done. I seriously about hit the dude, i kinda hope they did flood it just so i can tell the guy what a dumb *** he is, and hope they take the money to have it towed and repaired outta his paycheck. I almost just told him to give me the keys back and ill go somewhere else.

Discliamer: This place is actually pretty legit when it comes to car audio, and are some heighly regarded guys. Custom Sounds on Highway 159 in Fairview Heights

It's pretty much stock looking Ti Gray 8. I have only done slight mods to the engine and a few minor interior mods.

I live in South County. I am 30. I have a T II 7 that I am building so when I have extra cash I usually spend it on that.

Whose gunna help me install my BHR ignition when I get back in that heated garage that brett keeps threatening us with. And I just dropped some cash on a new computer so unfortunatley my springs arent gunna come soon but thats just as well because I decided I want coilovers.

So this summer's laundry list now includes:
Work Emotion CR Kai's
Tein Basics (or Koni Yellows with H-tecs)
AEM intake
Sway bars & endlinks
Mazda Speed Front Sides and Spoiler

That should set me back a good amount lmao
