Yes, that's right, i'm polluting the environment even more now! (How much pollution can a 1.8L engine create anyway, ehh? :D )

Now i've just got to find a good time to install it. Midterm projects are going to kill me the next week and a half or so, plus Petit this coming weekend and i'll be in Birmingham the following weekend. This could be a bit of a pain without a lift, but I'd really like to get it in soon. :twisted:

maybe its just the camera angle but to me that looks like one BIG ASS test pipe. :lol: is it really that big or are my eyes playing tricks?

Well, it's not quite as big as it looks. But it's not small either. :) It'll do the trick. I should pick up a few HP with it, and maybe if i'm lucky my car will spit fire now. :shock:

Well, because of the wastegate arrangement the inlet is an odd shape, but basically 2 1/4 X 3 1/2 inches at the inlet and 2 1/2 inches at the outlet.

Jerk. :P

Well, my cat flows pretty well already, and there's no way of knowing for sure without putting it on the dyno. Chances are the next time my car goes on the dyno it will be with the cat in. Not by my choice, but whatever. If I had to guess i'd say somewhere between 5-10HP, and somewhat quicker spool-up.

Every little bit counts at this point. Once I get the frontmount (Already paid for, just awaiting development) and cams (God only knows when this'll happen.) I'll then be limited by the size of my MAF housing and then probably the turbo. However, the turbo size is great for the HP level i'm at now, virtually no lag at all and extremely smooth power onset.

Eventually, when the motor blows (A long time from now I hope), i'll be doing a built 2.0L with a considerably larger turbo and custom software. Then the car will truly be bad-ass. :twisted:
