hahah BOOSTING IS ******* DOPE!!. naw, theres a lot of mountains, and spots to drive, but im just tired of N/A. its not for me.

im not worried bout lag, last time i drove my t2, it was boosting at 3k, soo it was okay for me, but when i swap it into my GTUs, ima upgrade the turbo, the look and everything...

im still planning this out,

If you're on a budget, I've heard nothing but good about the RTek chips in the stock ECU.

Are you going to put the N/A flywheel on the T-II engine? I'd keep the N/A tranny back.
You should at least save the tranny, it's got the shorter 5th gear.

naw, im have a OS GIKEN twin plate clutch im going to swap in instead.

im not too worried bout keeping the tranny, ima just swap my whole drive train.

its no biggie.

the only thing i am worried though is, who is going to do my V-mount set up ..
