Damn straight.
It doesnt matter how long my car spends off the road..... how much money goes into it..... Or how much stress it causes..... that first push on the throttle and that thrust back into the seat makes it all worth it. EVERY TIME!

any updates to your car yet?
I see the zoom feature ......congrats btw.
Just wondering if you have got any further. You were planing top turn the boost up to 30.

..We did, more power earlier; no real improvement for the top end. We know exactly why and it does not matter; today. The vehicle performs very well each and every time it is started and driven.. Tinkerng is something that will come later...

well done mark, looks great! It makes me more anxious to be able to turn the key on mine, but more tinkering is required. Stock cams are not at all bad in these things as your probably aware, theyed be the last thing to change, that port and manifold prep work is the way to go. The bifurifaction ports stock come no where near meeting the surface area of the trumpets. What exhaust manifold are you running on the motor?

Forgot to mention, that torque curve is very flat, thats really good, means it's breathing well all the way through with your boost level. the porting would have to matched up with a different turbo compressor, but i'm just repeating stuff you'd already know. Once again, love the car!!

I have not done any port work, but will one day to get it breathing better...I use the Escort 4x4 exhaust manifold...
