There is no doubt in my mind the Greddy turbo is worth it. I loved the 8 when I first saw it, but was disapointed when I test drove it because it wasn't nearly as fast as I was expecting. Since adding the turbo the car is perfect, no way I would trade it for any other car, at least not under 50k. The turbo makes a huge difference, find someone who has one and take a test drive, that's all it took for me!

As far as 1/4 mile and dyno charts, I only know of adrian who ran his and got a 14.0, but he had a leak at the time and was only making around 3psi, half of what the kit normally makes. I think the car will easily go 13's! For a dyno chart look around there's a few that have been posted. Most people are getting around 240whp with just the turbo.

Yeah, one of the gauge hoses had a small tear. Details in this thread.

Car pulls much more in the mid rpm's now. Boost drops alittle around 7k but nothing like before. Greddy said this was normal.

I found that hot girls don't walk around saying they're hot. If they do, their total bitches, full of themselves and a complete bore to be around, unless you lavish them with gifts.

maybe she is hot. But you're right blue eyes, that usually is the case.
