Man, you sure are having fun with your turbo. I'm almost jealous.
. I can't wait till I start my major engine work. I'm just waiting on my social security check from when my father passed away. Seems like forever.
Anywho, I wanna know what kind of power your getting.(hp & torque)

I am not sure on HP and TQ yet. When I have the time, and money, I will get the dyno done. Where can I get some headlights like yours, and how much do they cost? Can they house HID's?

Hey Linuxninja,
I had to post to set the story straight from all the half truths you were posting...just joking with ya.
I was quite impressed with your MP3. We were doing about 100+ mph when the MP3 began inching away about half a car length from me before we had to shut down because of traffic.
My car has basic bolts-ons (intake, downpipe, midpipe, catback, ecu - upgrade, SMIC intercooler, etc.) and still boosts up to 10 psi (just intermittently). The MP3 has very decent top-range power (very surprising). The thing that impressed me the most was how "stock" looking the car looked with the turbo kit since the intercooler is pretty much hidden behind the front grill of the car and it was very quiet (well at least in my car it was - even though I am half deaf from my exhaust ).
It seems to have very similar characteristics to a 1.6L miata running a Greddy turbo kit. I got to see under his hood and the look of everything seemed very "clean" (as in not do-it-yourself in the garage) and very OEM-like. Of course, Linuxninja keeps his engine bay so clean you could literally eat off of it (not a speck of dust/oil/grime...nothing...nada...looked like he just bought it off the showroom floor).
Well, I hope we get a chance to meet each other on the highway again

. I found this pic while surfing the net. The guy who owns this pro had it custom made. I'm planning on doing this too. I can't wait. I haven't gotten an estimate yet on how much it would cost, but I will soon.
