ok i just installed it... i put 4 washers in... im gunna try 3 washers to see what happens... but by any chance anyone know i guess a part number for the recirc hose.. i had to cut it when i have the hks installed and now its a little too short...

here's what I have personally found on mine. 4 works best all around except when you try to launch the car above 2500rpm. I found that with 3 washers I can hold the rpm to 2800 or so and launch the car. with 4 washers anything beyond 2500-2600 rpm and (this part is a guess as I am not familiar with turbocharged cars) I believe the wastegate opens and dumps the exhaust and lose immediate boost. With 3 washers it never happens to me, but with 4 it does it . Anyone else experienced this? (might be that 4 washers holds perhaps a hair more of boost and activates the wastegate whereas a stock or a 3 washer setup wouldnt. Just a guess.

i just tried 3 washers... seems better than 4 to me for some reason... maybe tommorow ill try 4 again and drive it like that for the day to see if i really see/feel a difference
