and then here is a vid of me driving around with the wifey.
please dont mind the talkin lol
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RItYmSc7__E

the vid was taken untuned.. i have since tuned the car .. and its running great.. 263hp and 235 trq thru Xenocron.. on 7.5lbs in shootout mode.. the car is tuned on 9 lbs of boost however so i think its around 260.. because the shootout mode puts it about 20 or so over..

kit was the ebay specific kit with turbo xs rfl.. and the intercooler piping was fabbed up to fit good. so to those wanting to try this kit out.. the quality of the charger itself is actually pretty good and the wastegate holds boost fine.. but there was a good deal of fabbing to be done to let the piping fit right.. so if u cant weld aluminum .. then good luck lol.. i was with a friend thats a fabber.. so its str8..

my tuner said that there was plenty of room to go.. and the turbo is pretty efficient.. fully boost at 3800rpm and the power was very linear with a flat torque line . i'm racing a JRSC some time soon so i'll let u know how that turns out.
