Awesome Raj! I'm looking forward to hearing how your exhaust turns out.

Yes it is , but there is always harder 2...

For example, just like some knew 600whp wasnt the end of the VQ 2 years ago... look at where we are now(get ready for 1000hp on mikes g?)...
This isnt a call out for him to do it btw (or saying he doesnt drive it hard), just saying i think his setup has more in it, i know not everybody is that willing/crazy though.

Very nicely relocated "real" reservoir by Forged (for wiper fluid, or perhaps, methanol!):

Quicksilver, with the nice "meth" tank relocation, I am tempted to push boost a little - just waiting on a specific gadget.

I see, they always do these 1-off pieces I can't buy lol

Thanks!

Thanks Brian. Hey Brian, if you get a chance do me a favor and PM Hydrazine. Tell him what you think of your evoTT and what you prefer. Tony thinks the market is small for FI, and maybe so, but I can think of no other application that potentially has such a variety of different requirements that make interchangeable components very, very cool!

Hey all, quick update, Sharif has found me something to help with the traction issues (though I'm thinking I should've just waited for warmer weather) :

Will have the following for sale in Marketplace this weekend. If you want to PM me an offer, you might just get a great deal and save me the trouble of posting :

- TurboXS Tuner Reg w/ Oxygen sensor (like new, all cables, instructions, etc, O2 sensor used for 8k miles, perfect, fast AFRs - moved to dual Haltech units).
- Enkei NT03+M 18" wheels, 10.5" rear, 9.5" front (great condition, 1 tiny superficial rock chip on rear wheel, pics up soon in marketplace)
- 3/8" Motordyne spacer with copper throttlebody warmer thrown in for free!
- 4.25" metallic 200 cell cats w/ 3.5" in/out diameter (must be welded in to test pipes, product description here)
- SPAL PWM fan controller (I have 2 of these available, new in box. Each can run 2 fans but only 1 using variable speed, the other is on/off - link to product website here)
- GTM stage 3 TC, approx 3600 rpm stall - upgraded to handle tons of tq, very fast, perfect for the 1/4 mile (requires aftermarket tranny cooler!)

And, BTW... Don't feel bad... Everyone on this forum likes gadgets!!!

Ok, PMs cleared - Ryan said I'm all set (can't call - been on conference calls the whole day - getting work done and buying parts is hard , not that I'm complaining ).

Done. If you come up with another idea, let me know.
