I was waiting for a kick in the pants and it seems it will never arrive. So...stick with it, the ability to crush your opponents and torment them with the BOV is right next to hooking up with a supermodel.

On my trip down, I was trying to conserve gas to check my best MPG (about 25), and this hooked up new tiburon wanted to play (stickers, exhaust, intake, etc.). I tried to warn him with a couple BOV warning shots.... I've never pulled so hard on a car which was at WOT in my life...awesome. It was like he was standing still

Car's still running good, I did get some rust on the turbo cartridge where the oil/water lines go in/out of the turbo, however a wire brush took it right off.

I like the hard questions but a lot of times its like... so does the PL kit use duel exhaust?
Can I run a single exhaust? I want to install my kit myself and I want it done in 2 days, do you think I can do it?
