Havent updated this in a while.
Been driving it around on the new setup for a while now
only at 7.5psi on the wastegate currently, but still runs like a bat out of hell. Just ordered cams from DM, so those go in next weekend. Car even gets better gas mileage now.
Also got a new piece for...

Well guys, things finally have calmed down for me somewhat and I can finally make a post on here. After parting out my MKIII, I came across this car on craigslist, called on it, and picked it up in a couple days. Turned out the car was the daily driver for Chris Johnson (from...
been a while since anything new on this car, other than its here at my house, and is extremely fun to drive.
now that im not feelin like dog shit, i started unwrapping some of the stuff for it today
4" HKS Ti Exhaust
14" 6-piston Stoptech BBK (no pics of the 14" 4-piston rear)
