You are going to have some fun with that. When you can try and save up for an electronic boost controller, it will bring the boost in faster and harder. I was getting bored with my rear mount, but after the controller I noticed a difference. I daily drove it all last summer and I had lots of fun.

I was planning on going with a smaller intercooler to keep the foggers. But after seeing the shot of the front of your car, I've decided screw it. That thing looks mean!
