man, that thing's going to be a monster. what are the specs on the turbo (AR, housing)?

18x10 295/35/18 kdw
And don't you hate the lack of 305/315mm rubber for 18" wheels? I'm running 305/35 Nittos, I couldn't find another manufacturer with that size. And the limited 315s I found were shorter than the 245/40s I'm running up front.
