I dunno. This thing is always in boost. I'm at 6psi in cruise on the highway most of the time.



10.5 gallons.

That's so wild. Flat ground at cruising speed, I'll be in vacuum, -15 inhg

I'll try to get a video of this thing while driving. It does a lot of things that other cars don't.

I know dick about turbos but that sounds weird.

It's just a widdle guy.

The cool thing is that it has 2 intercoolers.

That intercooler setup is pretty sweet!

Side note any of you rx7 or v8 or balls to the wall mazdaspeed guys need a turbo? I have a brand new beast sitting here for sale.

 

[thejeans]

thats a wild little setup on the Fiat haha.

 

[WillD]

It's pretty cool.

Looks like a well-engineered system but go figure people are already swapping in front-mount setups. Because blocking the radiator is a good idea... Upgrade the piping with larger, mandrel-bent aluminum, upgrade the cores with thicker, more efficient units, and upgrade the bypass valve and I think you'd be set on the intake side.

How'd everyone's weekend go?

I thought I lost my phone, turns out Kennedy has discovered the fun of throwing things down the laundry chute. Since I don't do laundry very often it had a nice cushy pile of clothes to land on.

Went to a Home show this weekend, I would almost rather redo the master bath than get a new car. Almost.

Can't wait til it gets a little warm out to start tuning. Tried a 4th gear log the other day before the snow started flying, and got wheel spin.

Very true... however I'm still liking my approach of "no mods" as well. It's the cheapest option.

went to the ix centers home & garden show & spent a lot of money on a product called my pillow (http://www.mypillow.com/). This is the best pillow i've ever slept on. I went to get another one as well as checking to see if they had a body pillow & they did. Much more than i wanted to spend, but I love my sleep. I slept like a baby last night with my new pillows. They have this bed topper that looks good, but it costs nearly as much as my mattress, lol

After the show, we went to Olive Garden & then came home to watch The Walking Dead

Minus the actual car purchase.

That's why i got the cx7. It's mainly stock yet, with slight mods, it's quick for a tank.

This is a possibility, as much as I want the ST, I haven't ruled anything out. We have other smaller projects on the list kinda budgeted for but we may just move the bathroom to the top.

interesting, I hate our pillows, it seems like we buy new ones about every 6 months

Yeah... the car purchase was pricy, but very much needed.
