Also to all the haters, at which point does the car come on vtec?
If I can have 200lbft from 4k-8500, i'll be over the moon, but TBH from 5500 to 8000 would still be enough to keep it on the boil, so doesnt matter if its not quite as good as it could be.

Im thinking of using a GT3071 on it TBH, even though its way bigger than I need, I just really like the way those turbos deliver their power, and it looks like the evo setup you use would have no chance of fitting in my bay, unless you can rotate it so the inlet doesnt poke as far towards my headlight?

Will talk to you about it once the engine is in though as its no doubt you I'll be coming to for the manifold and downpipe anyway, and until its in there I really am only guessing!
