    dugums build - need a ton of help!!!

    If you think you'll never want to go with anything more than 350 HP, then the stock 440 injectors are fine, but send them off to be flow tested and cleaned. If you think you'll be having some growing pains later on, better go with the 550's, you'll also want to send them off to be flow tested...

    20psi on pump gas, if you dont know, dont answer...

    I was actually looking to start it out around 11.3-11.7, so we're pretty much on the same page here ;)

    20psi on pump gas, if you dont know, dont answer...

    I do understand your reasoning here, my debate is based on equations of how to calculate velocity and an engine's volumetric output under specific boost settings. The only real way to prove it, like you are talking about, is with real world experience on the dyno. I think that you'll find that...

    post pictures of your exhaust!!!!!!!!!

    To keep the canister from vibrating loose. It's suppose to be for weight savings too so claims RSR with the GTII line of products. When even one spring on each side is attached, the damn thing isn't going anywheres. They're a bitch to get on if you don't know how to go about it right off the...

    best intercooler

    Good, but you can have better for cheaper. The less IC piping used, the better. A universal piping kit and spearco replica are damn hard to beat when you go through the snorkel hole underneath the passenger headlight ;).

    Showing my SM love in Forza 2!

    That's pretty damn nice with the SM logo all the way do the middle of the car, I like it ;). I've got the game too, my favorite MKIII that I have so far ( I have 3) is my Teal, kaminari 1G-GTE ;)

    I think I'm about to call it quits....

    Just like weezl said, I completely understand if you don't want to dump more money into it, but think of all the good times you've had with the car (the police chase for one). Try and just step away from the car for a while and then come back to it later, see if the desire is still there to do...

    20psi on pump gas, if you dont know, dont answer...

    Ian's turbo is also a ball bearing turbo, so boost comes on significatly sooner than a regular turbo, less resistance to spin the turbine ;). Jake, turbo or not, flow charateristics through a tube are the same when it comes to velocity, turbos just increase it even more ;).

    20psi on pump gas, if you dont know, dont answer...

    Remember, I only stated it as being a good place to start out at instead of going 20 psi right off the bat ;)

    Overheating issue...

    The sensor for the coolant light is in the resivoir bottle, check to make sure there's no foreign debris in it. It could also use a good cleaning probably. Do you have your fan shroud on? Do you have an engine undertray installed? Does your fan howl constantly? Can you spin your fan...

    Anyone Buy Forza 2?

    Ok, I have to say that I love the MKIII with the 1G-GTE over the 7M, it's so much easier to drive as peak torque is lower and doesn't want to power over nearly as bad. I've got quite a collection going on ;).

    20psi on pump gas, if you dont know, dont answer...

    Ok, at 22 psi and at 6000 RPMs will net you 624.12466 CFM's. This equates to 211.9 ft/sec on FULL 3" piping with a pressure drop of 0.37 and 305.1 ft/sec on FULL 2.5" piping with a pressure drop of 0.77... You are just a tad over the sweet spot with the 2.5" piping, but then again, with the...
