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

yeah the .82 is what im looking for. It will give me more useable power right now than the 1.06 would..that things prolly good to over 8k rpms..and ill never need it. I will still benifit(even if only a little bit) from the increased air flow oh the compressor side...now I just have to figure out how to have an intake or some kinda filter fabbed up to fit this.

Stocker should hold ok. Don't plan on hitting the 1320 to often, but it should hold roughly 380-400whp until you build...

you can see it.. i had 3 differnet people i was racing tell me they could see my intercooler behind my stock grill.. thats why i have it wide open now..

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....

Shouldn't be a problem. I have known a few people to drive there turbo'd Z for a very longtime on the stock clutch with no problems.

you can forget about the stock/sleeper idea.. as soon as the BOV goes off.. your busted.. i can't tell how many people i tried to sneak up on.. but even in negative vacuum as soon as i lifted off the throttle you could hear the BOV

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.
