wow man that is a monster and yet it is so beautiful.
this is more proof the FD should have come with a 20B from the factory!
hey I gotta say it is one of the finest FDs I have ever seen and I bet its mind blowing in person. that is some serious power and just an amazingly clean install and buildup. major props to ya.

hate to bump an old thread from the dead, but I don't have enough posts here yet to send a pm....

tommy,

I am looking for a bov for my build...not on a rotary, but at 26 psi I need to do my homework on what is going to seal properly

I was wondering which one you were running in this video:
http://videos.streetfire.net/video/2...yno_147647.htm

I like the sound on it, not too loud not too quiet....only really obnoxiously noticeable when you want it to be: at high boost =P

any recommendations? my main concern is that it won't seal well under high boost...which is why I'm leaning towards the synapse pull-type bov instead...but I'm looking through my options at something that's just a little more compact lol

Thats his wastegate it probably is dumped into the atmosphere hence the fire

Hey Tommy,

Nice build up, congrats on the numbers! What tires do you drive around with? If you floor 3rd gear or 4th, are you spinning your street tires?

Thanks,

Anthony
