Finally got to drive her out of my buddy's garage. That new turbo definitely trumps the old one. I can now hit boost right around 2800 to 3000 RPM with the new T3 turbo. God I fell in love with my car all over again. Just got to get it tuned for the new turbo and I will be set.

Oh well, I think I'm going to hold off on the custom plates, see where my car ends up this year.

I would, but there is that little 3000 mile difference between you and I

I'd ship mine for that treatment... once my bumper get's fixed of course.
I need a new midpipe because my cat has blown out.
I also need a new clutch and figured I might as well get a lighter flywheel at the same time.
I just can't make up my mind about what to get.
I'm pretty much settled on a Exedy stage 1 clutch, but the flywheel and midpipe issues are bothering me. I think the 7.5 lb Fidanza might be a bit too light for a daily driver, though some members on here seem to like it. A shop that cannot be named has a 16 lb lightened flywheel, but I'm weary about who 'lightened' it and if it was done correctly. Corksport sells an 18 lb flywheel, but I think that's not really going to make a difference in performance.
I'm also a bit saddened by the rather limited choices for midpipes now, and I think only SLS makes them at this point. I don't know what is entailed in extending O2 wires (required with SLS midpipes), and I don't like the sound of it.
I'm bummed.

doesn't corksport still carry theirs? I just saw it on PG a bit ago..
You have to extend the 02 sensor wires on the SLS midpipe with high flow cat?? Hm... I am installing my midpipe this weekend.. is there an easy way to do this?

From what I hear, it comes with an extender for the harness... otherwise, you just splice in some extra wire, make sure its all weatherproofed and you should be set.
I just installed the SLS midpipe with high-flow cat a couple months ago. I didn't need to extend the wires but I did neet to re-tap the O2 hole. And also the midpipe was touching the bracing underneath so when the car was on it would vibrate against it and be annoying as hell. I just took a hammer and bent the bracing about an inch or so to accomodate for the midpipe.
I also have my stock mid-pipe if anyone wants to buy from me.
