    7m-gte master rebuild kit...to buy or not to buy?

    Yeah I like this deal better, I think I could rest easier at night knowing that atleast I have what the factory came with, and that can support at a minimum 400 hp...but it won't cost me an arm, leg and my left testicle haha. Thanks everyone for the support!

    7m-gte master rebuild kit...to buy or not to buy?

    4k RPM turbo lag?!?!

    It's an r154, and clutch is good, definitely nothing slipping. It for sure has to deal with the engine. and I know the car is running really rich, I get like 9 mpg, could that be hindering it?
