    need a 600whp turbo-any suggestions?

    over here we use "fried/frying the rings" all the time. i think we should give this guy a break...... he just burned up his motor (or warped the head, or hammered, swelled, or broke his rings). i can't really think of too many more sayings, and i hope you're ok with me useing "burned up the...

    Turbo Decision

    both turbos will respond well, but garrett did good things with their gt series. however, that is just me speaking from looking at dyno charts. i was looking into both turbos for a long time.

    Probe Forged Pistons: You want 'em? GB!

    this is EXCELLENT!!!! however, Doward..... even though 46 ppl want to buy these pistons, and i truly believe most of them would buy them eventually, getting $3000 as a lump sum will be harder than expected i would assume. but then again, we all know what assume stands for........ anyway, yay...

    SOGI short shift mod

    i drove a new sti with the short shifter option ($495) :| and ive never felt such a nice shift. the shift was about 3 inches, and it was EASY to get into gear. the gearbox just gobbled up the next shift. i was very impressed!

    9:1 compression + high boost

    what do you mean "affected?" thanks...... i think we are making headway. eventually i will understand this. also, does a t-66 flow more air into an engine at 10 pounds of resistance than my ct-26 would flow at 10 pounds of resistance? this is confusing, because i would think that...

    9:1 compression + high boost

    i understand the fact that the bigger turbo will "flow" more air than a smaller turbo at the same psi, but it still doesn't click for me completely. isn't 18 psi, 18 psi? if my piping is holding 18 psi wouldn't that take the exact same amount of air regardless of turbo sizing. i know it isn't...

    9:1 compression + high boost

    since our engines don't rev as high as a lot of turbo motors, would the engine benefit from the higher compression? Are smaller AR houseings a compliment to higher compression? thanks in advance, I can't decide whether i want to go 9:1 or keep stock compression ratio... also, i don't rmember...
