    How much more flow are you going to get out of that 2510? Looks good!

    There is always something to say about reliability! I hope you enjoy and that is a nice setup you have! I love the valve cover!

    you should have seen my t3 when the wastegate actuator went out and my car started over-boosting to 21lbs. It snapped the shaft inside and the hot side turbine got lodged in my downpipe. It was driving fast as hell for about 10 mins. LOL.
