Thanks Mike. I am anxiously waiting for a write up on how you installed that TurboSmart WG. I may have to pick one up too. I assume it vents to atmosphere, how loud was it and how difficult was the install?

Did you install the TurboSmart gate in the same location as where the Evolution goes, or elsewhere? How did you work the dump?
And last....PICS?

I just wanted to add that an open exhaust is not as free as a good exhaust. Gas velocity is what we are dealing with and a closed system can be more free than open. There is scavaging that helps with velocity. And from what I read I think the theory of trying to drink from a fire hose is one of the most valid.
I'm glad to see that FI issues are a big deal over here. I should have my car back soon and I know that if I have some Gremlins that you guys will help me make them see the daylight.
