yeah I wanna see if i can get the 37r changed to the .82 housing..it wouldnt give me much benifit right now but later on when I want to go bigger..instead of having to buy another turbo(these arent cheap haha) id just have to buy the housing.

Ok, so I just asked about the GT37R, and you can go as small as a .63A/R, but it would choke the turbo in the upper-rpm's. They suggested to do at least the .82A/R

no track just highway.

besides sometimes its a good to have the intercooler wide open.. less people try to race you.. and when you can be 98% of the cars on the road.. its really a waste of gas to be racing people.. some people try to race you just to see performance anyway

No, I want the car to look completely stock. Theres a place here thats gonna do the coating on the IC. Its a flat black and will hide nicely..esp at night it will be impossible to tell. Of course you cant hide it from everyone....

haha well I guess my idea is when im parked in a parkinglot on the pike(the car scene in CT)..alot of guys like to find "easy" races..or f*c* with the people who have slow cars...my car will look completely stock(exhaust is gonna be stock too) so they will get their easy race.
