Negative camber will help tuck in the front. Get some T3 camber plates.

Adjustable wastegate actuator for s5 turbos. The original actuator has gotten weak. Even maxing out the duty cycle of the boost solenoid and the boost would not go any higher. https://www.rx7club.com/power-fc-for...er-fc-1089097/

now i should be able to turn up the boost!!!

Still Working on the grounding for the sensors

I got tried of fighting the v-belts and change to a toothed belt. It is so much better no slipping when it is cold or wet.
