Haha that's very flattering of you to say it that way, but I'm only putting out 360whp, because I stayed with the stock turbo. I'm staying pretty conservative with the Speed3 for reliability as a daily driver. I miss DFW though.

Hey Equinox have you had any kind of problems with your car with all the mods on it yet? I ask because Im looking to do the same thing. Get the Standback (18psi) and a manifold (not sure which one yet) keep the stock turbo and just be done with the engine. Im not really looking for a 500hp Speed3. Just something a lil bit more fun! Just curious is all. Thanks in advance.

PS: Oh and I have pretty much the same mods as you.. minus the things listed above.

How about posting bigger pictures? I'd like to get a good visual of what you got going on with the manifold.

Holy crap someone stole my turbo! (attached)

Initially my problem was traction, so I got a motor mount, it helped a lot, but now I need stickier tires, but that's no big deal. The only thing other than that is, when I installed the manifold, I started puffing out black smoke every now and then, apparently burning oil that leaks out of your turbo seals when you have little to no back pressure. When I rebuilt my turbo (or I should say protegeGarage.com built) that problem went away. Then, with the better turbo, I started noting my sparkplug electrodes getting white, so I upgraded the fuel pump, since the stock injectors are amazing. After that, it's all good. Could use a tweak of tuning to get another 15 horsepower, but that's later when I'm not so busy with my rx-7.

If there was anything I could change, I would have asked for an extra bung on my exhaust from CP-E to mount the wideband o2 sensor. Welding on stainless with stainless is a pain, locally.

BTW, the attached picture is when I pulled my stock turbo for rebuild, just so I'm not threadjacking.
