thanks for the info. i'm not afraid to get my hands dirty i've done alot of work with hondas from axles to motors to tranny swaps and conversions. just never messed with a dsm or turbo'd cars. i always do my research just so i get it done right i really don't like paying other people to work on my cars and then it still not be right. i really appreciate the info i'll def look into the eliminate kit. what would you recommend a safe boost level be since i don't really kno about the cars internals the guy told me he has the boost controller at 15psi. i'm really lookin for aftermarket boost guages. not too fond of the stock one. so if anyone has suggestions on good ones or one for sale i would greatly appreciate it. hope this all goes through tomorro
