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?
